A review by ederwin
Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

3.0

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.
