Dear Canada: Banished From Our Home: The Acadian Diary of Angelique Richard, Grande-Pré, Acadia, 1755 is set in the year 1755 in Grande-Pré, Acadia, a historically significant region in present-day Nova Scotia, Canada. The story follows Angelique Richard, a young Acadian girl who witnesses and endures the harrowing events of the Acadian Expulsion (Le Grand Dérangement) amid the French and British struggle for control of North America. The book depicts the real historical tragedy in which thousands of Acadians, French-speaking settlers in the region, were forcibly removed from their homes by British authorities. Through Angelique’s diary, readers gain a deeply personal perspective on this devastating chapter of Canadian history, making it both an educational and emotionally powerful read.
