QB Reads ft. Margaret Growcott

In 19th century England, Jane is 10 years old and works every day in a cotton mill. Can she escape her humdrum existence and realize her dreams in this harsh Victorian era?

Please join us as we welcome local author Margaret Growcott to the first session of QB Reads 2025! Born in England, Margaret will be sharing passages from her debut novel ‘Bales & Spires’, an amazing tale of ambition, disillusionment, and thwarted love, all set in England during the industrial revolution.

Margaret’s reading will be held at the Qualicum Beach Museum on Thursday March 6th, at 2 p.m. For more information, contact the museum or visit www.qbmuseum.ca/events.
