Frenchtown: A Semi-Fictional Memoir - 936

“Do you remember your first day at school?” That simple question introduces us to Frenchtown, a small mill town neighborhood on the banks of the Connecticut River, where we first meet and then share in the adventures (and misadventures) of John, Tommy, Joanne, Jim, and Patsy as they navigate an often rocky route from early childhood, in the mid 1950’s, to adulthood, in the early 1980’s . Along the way, we meet many other characters who inhabit their working class world, people like Sister Kerosina, the nun from hell; a grandmother who specializes in Italian profanity; Bud Partucci, aka “Buddy Pyro, The Master of Disaster”; Fritz the Turtle; Suzie ‘Spike’ Parker, a virtuoso blues guitarist, and on and on. Sharing some of their experiences will make you laugh out loud. A few will make you cry. Or will cause you to remember. All will make you think.
