Book excerpt: Although her primary aim was to write in Acadian French to preserve the language and culture of her ancestors, Marie-Colombe saw the need to write for her English-speaking friends. After all, they too lived in an era when there were no modern conveniences such as electricity and bathrooms. She felt they, like her Acadian friends and relatives, would also enjoy her humorous anecdotes of the past. So she decided to undertake the challenging task of translating her first book.
