Diary of an ordinary schoolgirl

In 1954 in Carlisle lived an ordinary 15-year-old schoolgirl called Margaret.

She would go on to become an acclaimed writer, the author of the novels 'Georgy Girl' and 'Diary of an Ordinary Woman' as well as biographies and memoir.

But this is her diary from that year; her life. Hers might be a lost world, but her daily observations bring it back in vivid, irresistible detail.
