Mariaagélas: Maria, Daughter of Gelas

The Caissies of the north and the Gelases of the south have been feuding for generations, but when Prohibition rocks their economically-starved communities — it's total war. At its heart is fiery young Mariaagélas who, in her fight for independence, devotes herself to "the drama of smuggling." Like its critically acclaimed and bestselling predecessor, La Sagouine, Mariaagélas is a rich and vibrant evocation of the Acadian spirit, told with humour, pathos, irony, and compassion. Mariaagélas joins la Sagouine as one of the great heroines of Antonine Maillet and Acadia.
