Fran Pelletier is a rare and wonderful storyteller. He grew up in Milford, Maine, in the 1930s, confessed to all seven sins at his first confession (thinking you had to), proudly wore a "Lindbergh" suit Mama sewed from puce and orange bargain wool (assuring him that aviators needed to be colorful), read aloud to his French-speaking grandfather at the railroad flat station after school, learned about chewing tobacco the hard way, played an unfortunate role in the derailment and subsequent sinking of a Maine Central handcar, and generally thrived in the bosom of his extended Franco-American family. Dogs, trout, and pigs put in appearances, an air circus comes to town, death claims a young friend, and Fran learns about life.
Pelletier remembers all the details in a series of stores that beg to be read aloud and shared. Authentically small-town American, yet spiced by his French-Canadian heritage, these stories will resonate in communities throughout New England.
...a well-written and enjoyable book that says much about the making of the United States.
