Margaret Kennedy – 1896-1967

One of the most diverse authors I have enjoyed. All of her books are well-crafted. Some books better than others, and everyone has a favorite!

Posts I have written about Margaret Kennedy and her books:

Troy Chimneys (1953)

The Ladies of Lyndon (1923)

The Fool of the Family (1930)

The Feast (1950)

Lucy Carmichael (1951) [Part One]
