Whatever Happened To Margo

**** "Whatever Happened To Margo" provides a nostalgic glimpse into the life of Margo Durrell, the lesser-known sister of the beloved Durrell brothers. Readers familiar with the PBS series "The Durrells in Corfu" will find themselves drawn to Margo’s story as she recounts her experiences managing a boarding house in England. The Prose is rich and descriptive, allowing readers to vividly imagine her quirky tenants and the humorous chaos that unfolds within the establishment. The memoir boasts a warm tone and includes delightful anecdotes, particularly those shedding light on her relationships with her brothers, Lawrence and Gerald Durrell. Fans of the Durrell family might relish these personal insights and reflections, adding a charming layer to the narrative. However, responses vary significantly among readers. Some found Margo's writing style to be compelling and engaging, praising the amusing encounters and the heartwarming family dynamics. Others, conversely, expressed frustration over the book’s lack of structure and narrative drive, suggesting that it sometimes reads more as a collection of musings rather than a coherent story. For these readers, the book’s charm wore thin amid an atmosphere of confusion and slow pacing. Overall, "Whatever Happened To Margo" is a mixed bag, striking a nostalgic chord while leaving some readers yearning for a more robust storytelling approach. It is best suited for dedicated fans of the Durrell family who appreciate memoirs infused with humor and familial warmth, even when the narrative may struggle to maintain a strong momentum. **
