OLDER FICTION
Shaw, Tucker

Anxious Hearts

(4) YA Insistent declarations of undying love dominate this novel that pairs (not always successfully) a doomed eighteenth-century romance with a troubled modern-day one. Both love stories revel in a moody aura developed through lush descriptions of Nova Scotia's rugged coastline. Allusions to Longfellow's poem "Evangeline" and the historic expulsion of the Acadian settlements provide the tale's most intriguing elements.
