SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Broken Heart of Winter
DESCRIPTION:📚\nThe Broken Heart of Winter by Judy LeBlanc is available to pre-order from Indigo\, caitlin-press.com\, and your local independent bookstore.\n📚\nIn award-winning writer Judy LeBlanc’s debut novel\, three women are linked by generations of hardship\, displacement\, and the mystery of an eighteenth-century French musket that has been passed down through the LeBlanc family since the time of the Acadian expulsion. A riveting and heart-wrenching look at the effects of cultural trauma on Canada’s Acadian community\, The Broken Heart of Winter takes readers on a riveting ride from modern-day Canada to a 19th-century Maritime island to untangle a family’s web of secrets and lies.\n📚\n“If you are Acadian\, Mi’kmaq\, or a Vietnamese baker working the night shift in Victoria\, BC\, what does survival—physical\, familial\, cultural and financial—look and sound and feel like? This powerful\, beautifully written novel explores the grim historical realities of Acadian expulsion and exile as well as the glorious small and large-scale triumphs of survival in the 1830s and modern-day Canada. A timely and necessary contribution to understanding and empathy for this planet’s perennial population of refugees\, the exiled\, those who perished and those who survived.”\n—Caroline Woodward\, author of Alaska Highway Two-Step\n📚\nLeBlanc will launch her book in Fanny Bay with fellow Caitlin Press authors Andrea Routley (This Unlikely Soil) and Susan Braley (Tilling the Darkness).
