The Margarets

When Margaret is six, she imagines herself a spy, a healer, a queen: and later at crisis points in her life, she feels as if parts of her have split off - the Margaret who followed her lover to Tercis and the Margaret who didn't; the one who's a healer; the one who's a spy.

Mankind's survival depends on all these Margarets - if only they can come together as one, with their powers intact...
