Review of Where is the French in Lewiston
Joseph Fusco
Posted on December 21, 2005 at 04:33 PM
A somewhat poignant look at the last generation of native French spekaers in Lewiston, Maine.
What is perhaps most striking is that there is apparently little contact with these French-Canadian immigrants and the French speakers of present day Canada where the language and media flourish.
A nice piece, well constructed, featuring a charming elderly lady who immigrated to Maine from Quebec in her youth.
