INTERNATIONAL IMPACT BOOK AWARD - Historical Fiction READERS' CHOICE BOOK AWARD - SILVER WINNER - Adult Fiction READERS' FAVORITE BOOK AWARD - FIVE STARS - Fiction & Literary LITERARY GLOBAL BOOK AWARD - FINALIST - Historical Fiction AMERICAN WRITING BOO AWARD - FINALIST - Fiction & Women's Fiction > A captivating and poignant portrayal of family, legacy, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. THE LANDLADY OF MAPLE AVENUE IS AN AWARD WINNING HISTORIAL FICTION FAMILY SAGA DEBUT NOVEL by Suzanne Elizabeth Gillis. The story is a poignant and humorous literary family saga inspired by true events. Set in the 1950s, it follows the aging Marceline Gillis, an immigrant mother of seven, as she plots to reclaim her position as the matriarch and rightful landlady of a Victorian house on Maple Avenue. Battling family tensions, disappointments, and the grief of losing loved ones, Marceline navigates the complexities of power, ownership, and legacy within her tight-knit Catholic family. Her journey is filled with heartache and determination as she seeks validation after a lifetime of hardship. Gillis demonstrates remarkable skill in bringing the complex dynamics of a mid-20th century immigrant family to life in a way that modern readers can easily connect with. Her sharp wit shines through in the dialogue between family members, creating moments of levity that balance perfectly with the more poignant aspects of the story, and every character felt so real like they'd jumped straight out of a time machine.
