Some nice turns of phrase, but without emotional variaton. Lots of unexamined colonial propaganda. Felt like it thought it was more profound than it actually was.
Moderate: Colonisation

I grew up in Louisiana and have a sister named Evangeline, yet I never got around to reading this until today. Overall? meh. But certainly not bad and I can see why people like it. It could make a great opera.
I didn't get a strong sense of rhythm from it, so I can't tell whether he got the right number of syllables in tricky words like Natchitoches and Atchafalaya.
