Produktbeschreibung

When a multi-family Victorian home is purchased in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1951 for the elderly and illiterate Marceline Gillis to live in while caring for her alcoholic husband and disabled veteran son, Marceline assumes she will be the property's new owner and rightful landlady. Expecting to fulfill her lifelong dream of homeownership while ending her days of abject poverty, she soon discovers that her two sons and their wives have other plans for the property's management, feeling she is ill-equipped for the job. This set off a small war within the tight-knit Catholic family from Nova Scotia, Canada, where Marceline has always been the undisputed matriarch of the entire Gillis clan--up till now. Suzanne Elizabeth Gillis holds an MFA with honors in Screenwriting from Columbia University Graduate School of Arts and a BA in Narrative Writing and Film from Hampshire College. She previously owned a on-line business where she helped non-writers develop story ideas for feature screenplays and TV series since 2007. THE LANDLADY OF MAPLE AVENUE is her first novel inspired by true stories about her father's immigrant family from Nova Scotia, Canada, who immigrated to Cambridge, Massachusetts in the 1920s. She is currently completing her novel DR. TIGHTSKIN, a LGBTQ comedy based on her original comedy screenplay UNDER MY SKIN.
