A series of English-language short stories that have since been described as definitive Maine literature, Papa Martel portrays the Franco American family as accommodating, between French-Canadian Habitant culture and the assimilative influence of postwar America.[33] Though never attaining national fame, the book was widely successful in New England, particularly Maine.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5309.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5309.txt
