Her book Whatever Happened to Margo? is a humorous account of her experiences as a Bournemouth landlady in the late 1940s and includes details about the lives of her family, particularly Leslie, Gerald, and Louisa Durrell following their time on Corfu. The manuscript was apparently written in the 1960s, but it was discovered in the attic by a granddaughter nearly 40 years later and published in 1995.[2]
