About this book
If you are under the impression that Arthur Conan Doyle's sole literary output consisted of short stories featuring Sherlock Holmes, The Refugees will change your opinion. This sprawling historical epic veers from France to North America and back again, chronicling the parallel struggles of the persecuted Huguenots and the oppressed indigenous tribes of Canada.
