Margot & Me - Signed Copy, by Juno Dawson
Juno Dawson steps gracefully into historical fiction with her newest novel, Margot & Me. Through the contentious relationship between London teen Fliss and her dragon of a granny, Margot, Juno explores women’s and gay rights over the last century, but puts story and character first with every step.
How can you hate someone in the present and love them in the past? Fliss's mum needs peace and quiet to recuperate from a long illness, so they both move to the countryside to live with Margot, Fliss's stern and bullying grandmother. Life on the farm is tough and life at school is even tougher, so when Fliss unearths Margot's wartime diary, she sees an opportunity to get her own back. But Fliss soon discovers Margot's life during the evacuation was full of adventure, mystery ...and even passion.
What's more, she learns a terrible secret that could tear her whole family apart...
