À propos de cet audio

An enchanting and poignant story about the unfailing power of love in a world turned upside down by war - from the best-selling author of Tides of Honour.

Summer 1755, Acadia

Young, beautiful Amélie Belliveau lives with her family among the Acadians of Grande Pré, Nova Scotia, content with her life on their idyllic farm. Along with their friends, the neighbouring Mi'kmaq, the community believes they can remain on neutral political ground despite the rising tides of war. But peace can be fragile, and sometimes faith is not enough. When the Acadians refuse to pledge allegiance to the British in their war against the French, the army invades Grande Pré, claims the land, and rips the people from their homes. Amélie's entire family, alongside the other Acadians, is exiled to ports unknown aboard dilapidated ships.

Fortunately, Amélie has made a powerful ally. Having survived his own harrowing experience at the hands of the English, Corporal Connor MacDonnell is a reluctant participant in the British plan to expel the Acadians from their homeland. His sympathy for Amélie gradually evolves into a profound love, and he resolves to help her and her family in any way he can - even if it means treason. As the last warmth of summer fades, more ships arrive to ferry the Acadians away, and Connor is forced to make a decision that will alter the future forever.

Heart-wrenching and captivating, Promises to Keep is a gloriously romantic tale of a young couple forced to risk everything amidst the uncertainties of war.

A story every Canadian should read

I loved this book from the beginning until the end and shed many tears. Although it took me a moment to get used of the narrators soft voice, she brought the main character alive and I don’t think the story would have been as impressive and heart warming if I’d have read it on my own, or if anyone else law narrated it . A must - listen for anyone who loves to dive down in history and isn’t afraid to hear truth.

Another in depth unveiling of the truth of the wrongs done to humanity in the treatment of the Acadians at the hands of the British. Researched and written by this amazing Canadian author.

Not always easy to hear, the stories and lessons shared are the truth, of loss and love with courage and strength. I am becoming more curious to learn and understand more of the ancestries of Canada and Europe.
