Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Sister to Evangeline" by Sir Charles G. D. Roberts is a historical fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Paul Grande, an Acadian soldier returning home to the village of Grand Pré after two years. As he reconnects with his memories, particularly of Yvonne de Lamourie, he is soon drawn into the fraught political landscape of Acadia, where loyalty and allegiance to England versus France loom ever larger. At the start of the novel, Paul Grande reflects on his return to Grand Pré and its picturesque beauty, filled with apple blossoms and familiarity, igniting his memories of relationships and unresolved feelings for Yvonne. Upon arriving, he experiences a mix of joy and apprehension, remembering those lost to the battles waged between French and English interests. The story introduces various characters, including the ominous madman Grûl, who prophesizes doom for Acadie, and the menacing figure of the Black Abbé, who manipulates the populace. As Paul navigates these tensions, his feelings for Yvonne deepen while he faces the threat posed by political betrayal and violence that could alter their lives forever.
