About the Book

Darlington's Margaret is a novel that takes place just after the second world war. After the tragic death of their father, Margaret and her siblings leave England and their invalid mother to come to Canada. Great Aunt Aileen makes the children feel unwelcome. They must deal with homesickness and work very hard in her boarding house without encouragement. Margaret develops courage and determination while coping with Aunt Aileen`s increasing demands. Based on stories told to the Author by her mother at bedtime, Darlington`s Margaret appeals to children aged 8 and up.
