Landlord Greed and a Azores Rescue Window
In Ponta Delgada a traveler recalls a voyage with Manuel Landscam and his wife, tracing a tale of island gardens and a missing grandmother Maria Souza. The story links slum neglect in Boston to immigrant Azore families, and a prompt plan to publish tenement conditions to compel action. A wealthy landlord fights reform while a nurse and priest aid the elderly Maria Souza’s voyage home, sparked by a debt and a rescue that tests conscience and justice.
