Описание: In 1947, with two young children to support, Margaret Durrell took the advice of her maiden aunt and started a boarding house in Bournemouth. But any hopes of a conventional clientèle were dashed as the establishment was colonised by a host of eccentrics, comprising, among others, a painter of nudes, a battered wife, a chauvinist bricklayer, and a Maltese transsexual.
With brother Gerald descending from time to time upon this extraordinary household, accompanied as ever by his travelling menagerie, the scene was set for a multitude of hilarious adventures. In such company, and with such tenants, the landlady herself could not long stand aloof, and indeed was shortly drawn into a surreptitious love affair with a trombonist.
Written over thirty years ago, and discovered in an attic by the author’s granddaughter,
Whatever Happened to Margo? is a remarkable find which will delight Durrell fans the world over.

“
Whatever Happened to Margo? is as English as Clark’s sandals and evokes brilliantly the social attitudes of the post-war years.” -

______
Увлекательный рассказ Маргарет Даррелл (сестры Джеральда Даррелла, той самой Марго из "Моей семьи и других зверей") об открытом ей пансионате в английском городе Борнмут и его эксцентричных обитателях.
