Sumár recenzie
Krajčírka z Akádie od Laury Frantz je historický román zasadený do Akádie (dnešné Nové Škótsko) v období napätia medzi Francúzmi a Britmi okolo roku 1754. Hlavnou hrdinkou je Sylvie Galantová, nadaná krajčírka, ktorá počas krutého vysťahovania známeho ako Le Grand Dérangement príde o domov aj rodinu, pričom práve jej remeslo jej nakoniec otvorí cesty k prežitiu. Will Blackburn, pôvodne veliteľ rangerov, sa vzdal kariéry, snaží sa odškodniť a pomôcť vyhnancom a jeho a Sylviin vzťah sa cez nedôveru a zranenie mení na cestu k odpusteniu. Kniha je viac než romantika — skúma tému odpustenia, sily komunity a nesie aktuálny odkaz na prijímanie utečencov a ľudskosť v čase krízy.
