It could be about anyone you, your parents, your best friends. But it s not. It s about a woman called Margaret Towne, and the man who falls in love with her . . .

The day he meets Maggie for the first time is the day he understands what it is to be in love. Deeply, wildly, terminally in love.

What he doesn t know is that loving Maggie means loving many women at once.

After a brief, intense courtship the two young lovers set off to meet Maggie s family: Margaret, Maggie, Marge, Mia and May five women of different ages, all living together in a house called Margaron, in a place called Margarettown. Nothing in Maggie s world is quite like anywhere else.

Part memoir, part fable, part journey through the many worlds of one woman, MAGARETTOWN is a novel about how love takes us over and changes our lives; how it makes lies out of truth and truth out of lies. It is the story of what it takes to love the same person for a lifetime and about the impossibility of really knowing anything about who it is we have come to love.
