Description
A Classic Returns! In celebration of Cape Breton Island’s remarkable diversity, here are the voices of marvelous people in an extraordinary land?the Acadians of Cape Breton Island. From history to folklore to ancient celebrations that are practiced to this day, Ronald Caplan’s intimate and often passionate visits keep the heart of these remarkable people alive with their stories of sorcery and community building and great good fun?all offered in the winning ambiance of their day-to-day lives. Told in English in their own words, we hear from these descendants of survivors of the horrific dispersal?people who returned to establish singular communities of cooperation and independence in remote corners of Atlantic Canada. From rug hookers to fishermen, lighthouse keepers and devoted storytellers—told with tenacity, pride, ingenuity and wit—every chapter in Acadian Lives delights the reader and keeps these people alive.
