PAGING ALL BOOK LOVERS!
Join writer, broadcaster and blind adventurer Red Széll for the latest episode of AMI-audio’s My Life in Books.
Each fortnight, Red invites you to join him in conversation with a renowned author about their work and the books that inspired them to write.
Tyler LeBlanc was working as a bicycle tour guide when a chance encounter led him to look into the history of his name. Growing up on the south shore of Nova Scotia, he’d been unaware of his Acadian roots.
But the discovery that he could trace his family all the way back to the Acadian Expulsions parked a curiosity that has transformed the way he views identity, family and the place he calls home.
Painstakingly researched, his book, Acadian Driftwood, pieces together the lives of his ancestors after they were shattered by their enforced removal from their homeland by the British in 1755.
Join Tyler and Red as they explore the history behind and legacy of Le Grand Dérangement. About AMI
