À propos de cet audio

Exiled from his beloved Acadie in Canada, Bleu Galant has little on his mind but survival as the tumultuous French and Indian War comes to a close. When his journey to Virginia's Rivanna River settlement takes an unexpected turn, he crosses paths with Brielle Farrow—a woman whose presence stirs something in him he cannot explain nor express. Unable to forget her, his decision to help her takes them across an ocean into a lavish world he's never known. Will their intricate tie decide not only her fate but his future?

Bleu Galant, the half Mi’kmaq brother to Sylvie in The Seamstress of Acadie, had his own story to tell. A Fierce Devotion gives him that story, and it was worth the wait.

Frantz brings clarity to what Acadia did to him: the loss, the displacement, the hard shaping of a life after the French and Indian War. Bleu is not written as a polished hero.

Brielle Farrow enters his life as an indentured servant with her own losses. She is gentle without being weak. Their relationship grows slowly, and that is what makes it believable. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is exaggerated.

A simple moment says more than pages of confession. When Bleu offers Brielle wild strawberries and she lifts one to his lips before tasting the rest, it touched me so much that I rewound and listened a couple more times. One wonders if she understood what that act stirred in a man who had gone so long without belonging.

Even though the story takes place after the French and Indian War, it does not overwhelm the reader with tension. It is the kind of novel that offers immersion rather than agitation.

Frantz’s command of setting is immersive. The setting never feels like wallpaper, and the world feels lived in.

I also loved the way Frantz threads her larger world through the story. The overlap with Shaw’s chocolate shop from A Heart Adrift felt natural. It was a small touch that delighted me.

The audiobook is excellent. Pilar Witherspoon handles the narration with skill. Her male voices are convincing, and she respects the punctuation. Yes, there are narrators who do not, and they leave you guessing at what you are hearing. If you skip the punctuation, you skip half the meaning.

She understands pacing. She gives questions and pauses the space they need.

What makes the book work is that healing comes slowly and honestly, through relationship, faith, and choice.

If Bleu stayed with you in The Seamstress of Acadie, this novel completes what was started.
