...Hoover has said: "These Acadians are a wonderful people and they love this Evangeline country of theirs with all their heart and soul. Very few speak English and they are as proud as the forefathers who settled the Sugar Bowl 200 years ago.

In Annette and Sylvie (Vol. I), the heroine, Annette, has her illegitimate son by Roger Brissot. In Summer (VoL II) she continues her emotional development, with three men, none of whom is quite the right one. Presumably, happiness awaits her in Vol. IV, now being prepared.
