Hide and Seek

In a series of short stories based in her native Britain, as well as in her adopted country of Canada, Margaret Thompson delights us with her pictures of ordinary life — or is it so ordinary? Sometimes brittle, sometimes gentle, she delivers telling shots at individuals and society's foibles.

Margaret Thompson Born in England, Margaret Thompson immigrated to Canada in the mid '60s. Since then, she has lived in various parts of BC and is now settled into the tiny historic village of Fort St. James, BC. She has three grown children and has spent most of her working life teaching English. Her first book, 'Squaring the Circle' was published in 1992.
