In 1987, the English translator of Gabriel's autobiography 'Enchantment and Sorrow' also received the Governor General Award.

The book 'Gabriel Rai: A Life' also received the award from French-English translation section in 1999, about 600 pages by Francois Richard's biography.

According to critics, the actual filming of the urbanization of Quebec province is found in Gabriel Roy's novel. Before that, people knew Quebec as rural people, a customary life. The change in life that took place through World War II and recession, in which the light of a city culture has developed in the midst of the change, the author has been able to catch it thoroughly. The ability to capture society in full reality brought Gabriel to fame. Became the main person in French-speaking literature of Canada. It is known that more than seven million copies of the book were sold in America. Even though avoid the crowd, Gabriel had to leave Montreal and go to Manitoba, his childhood town.

There is no doubt that Gabriel's name will attract any Bengali. Gabriel was the youngest of children born to Leon Roy (1850-1929) and mother Melina Landrie (1867-1943). His father was working in the Settlement Office. When he lost his job, his mother carried out the work of sewing. Gabriel is born in the city of Manitoba in St. Boniface. But after completing his studies from Europe, he settled in Montreal in 1939. In Gabriel's novels, there are two life-sized images - one is the life of Monterrey, and the other is the rural life of Manitoba, where Gabriel spent his childhood and adolescents' beautiful days.

Leon's father's name was Charles Roy (1803-1900). Charles's father was Jean-Roy (1767-1833). Wikitree says that Jean-Roy was born in Quebec. Jean's father was Guillaume Roy (1740-1800). Guillaume's father was Pierre Barnard Roy (1706-1783). WikiTree also reports that LeRoy was the last name of their ancestor. It is assumed that the family title from there was Roy. However, the title of the Lilly Roy came from the name of their previous predecessor Leroy De Normann (approximately 1090-1100). Leroy was a resident of Scotland.

Gabriel's 108th birthday, Margaret Atwood wrote a composition about him in 2017. The Literary Journal Was printed in 'McLean's journal. The title of 'Gabrielle Roy, in nine parts' was first published in 2016 in the title "Legacy: How French Canadians Shaped North America". The article concludes Margaret's citation in 2004 by Gabriel's quotation used in twenty dollars notes in Canada. In French and English quotes were written 'Could we ever know each other in the slightest without the arts?'

Gabriel was awarded the 'Companion of the Order of Canada' (CC) on July 6, 1967. It was written there: One of the great Canadian novelists whose work won one of the first to be recognized outside the country

Gabriel's award-winning novel 'Street of the Riches' is mostly the autobiography type. There we also a girl who gradually becomes a famous writer. In addition to Gabriel's childhood in Manitoba, the division of French-Canadian and English-Canadians has also been reflected in the novel structure. This story of a girl named Christine continues in the novel 'The Road Past Altamont'.

The award-winning novel 'Children of My Heart' is also autobiographical. This was the last of the author's fiction writing. There he taught - as we saw the young Gabriel in the 1930s. Gabriel's three award-winning novels have been transformed into a movie

'Gabriel Roy: A Life' biography has captured the life of author Gabriel. Biographer Frékosées of the novel 'The Tin Flute' reports that he did two manuscripts of the novel. After finishing the revised second manuscript, Gabriel went to Jacqueline Genius. Get a bluish-type copy of her. The biographer tells Jacklin that the manuscript was handled in such a way that a mother would catch her child. Jakulin gave $ 25 as a remuneration for the fee. Then he submitted the 499-page manuscript to the publisher in two paved chains (p.244). The French-language book finally saw the face of light in June 1945. The biographer says that the publication of Gabriel's first book was like a Cinderella story. We know that this book turns an ordinary journalist from a common agricultural magazine into a celebrity all over the country. He was honoured with many prizes. There was a huge amount of money coming. Journalists were roaming around to get her interview. This book was first published in Canadian literature or Quebec literature by Françoise, an American style. Then in the spring of 1947, the American translation of the book was published and Gabriel Roy was awarded the top literary work.

Wanting to be an interested reader, Gabriel's autobiography is a bit incomplete. Although there was a desire to do three or four volumes in the plan, he could finish only two chunks, and so we got it until we wrote 'The Tin Flat'. Francois's lead biography is an outstanding source of author Gabriel Roy.
