Description
In the playful tradition of The Time Traveler's Wife and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Margarettown is an enchanting story about love in its many forms. From the moment they first sleep together, piled atop seven mattresses in her dorm room, N. is pulled ineluctably into a rich and enchanted relationship with Margaret Towne. She introduces him to worlds he never dreamed existed, and on the day he meets Maggie for the first time, he understands what it is to be 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 Margaret’s family. Written in the form of a final letter to his young daughter, Jane, N. recalls his relationship with Margaret Towne and Margarettown, the upstate New York town to which she introduces him. This town is inhabited by a mysterious family of women named Old Margaret, Marge, Mia, Maggie, and May. It is a timeless exploration into the unknowable territory of the woman he loves.
