Best-selling author Dianne Yarwood returns to the literary scene with Margaret, Are You Leaving? a tender and powerful story of mothers and daughters. This is Dianne’s second novel, following on from her successful debut novel The Wakes, and we are excited to welcome her to our library for the first time.

Based on the real-life story of her best friend, Dianne explores the fictionalised journey of Maggie to trace her mother's identity, a quest that brings fresh heartbreak but also unexpected joy. Maggie has spent her whole life leaving, but now, for the first time, will she feel like staying?

This deeply empathetic, witty and wise story celebrates the messiness of family and the beauty of life in all its heartache and wonder. Come along and hear from Dianne as she shares this deeply personal story.

MacLean’s Books will be selling copies following the event and Dianne will be available for signing.
