Beskrivning
Acadia, 1917. In an Acadian seaside village, where life unfolds through its seasons and its struggles, in its beauty and its harshness, Jean-Baptiste, on the cusp of manhood, and the beautiful Angelaine are madly in love. Overnight, their world turns upside down. Orphaned in a time of war, distraught, the young man enlists in the Canadian army and leaves the shores of his native Acadia and his beloved behind. He thinks about leaving for the front, but finds himself in the spectacular mountains of Franche-Comté, roughly chopping wood day after day.Against the backdrop of the enormous and little-known efforts of the Canadian and Acadian soldiers during the First World War in Jura, Franche Comté, Acadissima uncovers the power of the love that unites two young Acadians, despite the war, the distance and the struggles of life. Published in French.

Recensioner i media

Plusieurs écrivains ont décrit la contribution des soldats canadiens au front durant la Première Guerre mondiale. Le rôle des soldats-bûcherons, lui, demeure passablement méconnu. Jean-Louis Grosmaire jette un savant éclairage sur cette réalité [et] a effectué une recherche minutieuse et rigoureuse.[…] Grosmaire décrit avec brio comment un village ressemble à une famille qui constamment s’observe, se jauge, se juge et se dénigre. […] Jean-Louis Grosmaire excelle dans l’art de décrire les émotions et les sentiments qu’un jeune homme a tendance à taire.
