About this listen

In a land torn apart by conflict, can love mend the tattered pieces?

As 1754 is drawing to a close, tensions between the French and the British on Canada’s Acadian shore are reaching a fever pitch. Seamstress Sylvie Galant and her family—French-speaking Acadians wishing to remain neutral—are caught in the middle, their land positioned between two forts flying rival flags. Amid preparations for the celebration of Noël, the talk is of unrest, coming war, and William Blackburn, the British Army Ranger raising havoc across North America’s borderlands.

As summer takes hold in 1755 and British ships appear on the horizon, Sylvie encounters Blackburn, who warns her of the coming invasion. Rather than participate in the forced removal of the Acadians from their land, he resigns his commission. But that cannot save Sylvie or her kin.

Relocated on a ramshackle ship to Virginia, Sylvie struggles to pick up the pieces of her life. When her path crosses once more with William’s, they must work through the complex tangle of their shared, shattered past to navigate the present and forge an enduring future.

Good story. Interesting time period and circumstance. The narrator paused at odd times and read too slowly. Not my favorite.

Interesting, clean romance about the displaced Acadians

I loved everything about this book. Especially the way she weaves our Lord’s hand through the lives of the characters. Laura Frantz teaches with her story telling and in doing so leads us closer to God. Truly amazing.

A love of three strands

Laura Frantz is an auto buy author for me. I love her books. Their are lush and complex in plot and her characters are memorable and well written. She is dedicated to historical detail which is important to me in historical fiction.

The Seamstress of Arcadie is beautifully written and was set during a time in history I didn’t know a lot about except for Longfellow’s poem. I didn’t want it to end. Another excellent book by this author!

The audio book narration was excellent as well.

Love it!

Enjoyed learning a bit piece of history I had not known about the North American Wars and different peoples. Also enjoyed the storyline, felt it ended too quickly.

Really enjoyed this history!

Laura Frantz is one of my favorite authors! This wasn’t my favorite books she’s done but I enjoyed it. I did not care for the narrator, she was very monotone at times making it hard to focus. I had to keep rewinding parts because I didn’t understand what was even happening.

Overall a great book
