'Gabrielle Zevin has an incredible gift for story telling. . . I am forever amazed . . . this is my new favourite' 5-star reader reviewThe day he first meets Maggie is the day N. understands what it is to be in love. Deeply, wildly, terminally in love. What he doesn't know is that loving Maggie means loving the many women who make up her family: Old Margaret, Marge, Maggie, Mia and May, five women of different ages, all living together in a house called Margaron, in a place called Margarettown.

Because nothing in Maggie's world is quite like anywhere else...

Romantic, funny and wildly original, Margarettown is a fable about the many faces of love. It is the story of what it takes to love the same person for a lifetime - and the impossibility of really knowing who it is we have come to love.

'Strange, quirky and brilliantly written' 5-star reader review'This book was magical' 5-star reader review'Unlike any book I have ever read before . . . one of my favourites' 5-star reader review'Another amazingly intricate novel. . . [Gabrielle Zevin] continues to delight me!' 5-star reader review
