About this book
At Greystones, eighteen-year-old Margaret Anstruther dreams up a friend who offers the games, outings and parties she longs to enjoy. Her grandfather's secluded house stands among dark elm trees, and his rules make meeting people difficult. When he overhears her imaginary conversation, his angry questions reveal the strain between his authority and her desire for company.
Geraldine Mockler's novel for young readers turns that loneliness into a story of friendship and borrowed identities. Margaret and Eleanor exchange names, and Eleanor enjoys living as Margaret in Mrs. Murray's household. Their private conversation in a garden summer-house carries an awkward imbalance: one girl is delighted by the arrangement, while the other arrives anxious about what she needs to say. The appeal lies in the contrast between imagined freedom and the complications of living under another girl's name.
