Whatever Happened to Margo?

Margaret Durrell was born in India, the privileged child of the British Raj. Following the death of her father in 1928, the family returned to England, settling in Bournemouth. Lured by tales of the magic of Greece, the Durrells uprooted again and moved to Corfu in 1933. Rumours of war forced the family to return to England, but Margo escaped back to Corfu to live with her village friends.

After marriage and extensive travels in Africa, she returned to England again before the birth of her second son. Divorce followed and she married again, but, unable to curb her restless urge to travel, she became a mariner on a Greek cruise ship.

Living in Bournemouth once again, Margo is now a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
