Customer Reviews

Claire by Moonlight is a great read.

If you are looking for a ripping good story with danger, disress, and lots of excitement, and still would like to learn something about an event in Canadian history, I reccomend Lynne Koisitsky's Claire by Moonlight. Claire Richard is an Acadian girl living in the idyllic settlement that her people have created in Nova Scotia. Suddenly her life is turned upside down as the new English Governor decides to expell the Acadians from their farms and lands, dispersing them to the English colonies and separating their families. The book's style is dramatic and literate, and tells the story of Claire and her family with just enough detail to make the reader feel that he is really living through a truly deplorable event in Canadian History.
