The Innocent Victim

A Franco-American Civil War Novel

by Adélard Lambert
Translated by Margaret S. Langford in collaboration with Claire Quintal

A fast-paced tale of deceit, determination, lies, love, loss, and murder. The dramatic story of Jean and Marie Legendre enlightens the reader about the experience of 19th century French-Canadian immigrants to New England, the emotional impact of such a migration on individual French-Canadians and their families, and the challenges they faced in a new country. The Innocent Victim combines fiction and history in a delightful story that is both entertaining and educational.

Foreword, Preface, Introduction, Chapter Notes, and Bibliography in addition to the translated text.
