Near to the end of her life, Maggie waited for Death. It was the only thing to look forward to, especially when looking back on the regrets of a past life directed by others and dominated by the mistakes she had made. But then Beatrice walked into her life. This younger, second generation, Caribbean woman and a child of unknown parents, had faced her own trials based on the colour of her skin and lived with the consequence and judgment of regrets of her own. But she cared. The Magpie Girl is a story about people and relationships that span lifetimes, and the scars we carry through our lives, often inflicted by others. Above all, it is about it never being too late even if death is close and time appears to be running out. It is also a story about magpies, birds that are judged well before they are understood.
