The True Story of Marie Anne And Louis Payzant in 18th Century Nova Scotia
The incredible lives of Marie Anne and Louis Payzant have formed the stuff of legends and sparked the literary imagination of a number of writers, Margaret Atwood among them.
Fleeing religious persecution in eighteenth-century France, Huguenots Marie Anne and Louis abandoned the haven of Jersey, one of the Channel Islands, for a new life in Nova Scotia, only to be engulfed by the New World's own troubles: colonial hardship, French-English warfare, and threats from local natives. A Passion for Survival is the true account of Louis's tragic death and Marie Anne's remarkable fortitude -- a story so extraordinary, it reads like fiction.
