So, the previous post left me wondering what had happened to Madame Le Neuf and suspecting Jean Campagna (who by all accounts was a horrible man) ... But this new post has me feeling a little sorry for Jean Campagna ... Twists and turns ... Looking forward to see where this goes next time ...
Bonjour Lisa, je viens d'attraper cette histoire au colet pour la première fois. Votre écriture est très dynamique, claire et entrainante. Il est fascinant d'imaginer le sort des premières famille en Nouvelle-France au 17e siècle. Et je suis particulièrement curieuse d'en apprendre plus à propos de Beaubassin, ses gens et son histoire méconnue.
En fait, l’histoire des Morin est bien connue, mais les antécedents de leur expulsion sont mal comprises, surtout le rôle des Morin dans le procès de Jean Campagna.
Always draws a chuckle to "hear" Roger Caissie say "you'll have to ask my wife (Marie Poirier)." Leads to much imagining of Acadian marital arrangements. (:
I love Marie Kessy—throwing him out of the house and telling him he is a fool. I think Roger was taken by surprise the first time Campagna came to call and then relied on the fine Irish art of passive - aggression. By the time Marie senior returned he and the family were ready for Campagna.
