Margaret Durrell

    La vie de Margaret Durrell a été marquée par l'aventure, passant de l'Inde britannique à Corfou, puis s'installant en Angleterre. Son expérience en tant que propriétaire d'une maison d'hôtes et son profond attachement à la Grèce ont façonné sa voix narrative unique. Son unique œuvre publiée, un récit autobiographique, offre un aperçu humoristique et intime des vies non conventionnelles de sa famille et de son propre voyage plein d'entrain.

      *With a foreword from Gerald Durrell* In 1947, returning to the UK with two young children to support, Margaret Durrell starts a boarding house in Bournemouth. But any hopes of respectability are dashed as the tenants reveal themselves to be a host of eccentrics: from a painter of nudes to a pair of glamorous young nurses whose late-night shifts combined with an ever-revolving roster of gentleman callers leading to a neighbourhood rumour that Margo is running a brothel. Margo's own two sons, Gerry and Nicholas, prove to be every bit as mischievous as their famous Uncle Gerald - and he himself returns periodically with weird and wonderful animals, from marmosets to monkeys, that are quite unsuitable for life in a Bournemouth garden.
