Margaret MacNeil doesn't mind being called a snot-nosed whore — in fact she likes being an outcast, swearing like a man and making it clear she will never marry a coal-miner. She's already lost her father and a brother to the mines, and her mother, a fountain of black humor, is equally determined to keep Margaret safe.
Then one day Neil Currie staggers into their lives, a gentle, bagpipe-playing giant of a man. Margaret takes him home, falls in love, and marries him because he vows to stay away from the mines. But he can't keep his promise. When tragedy strikes, Margaret reacts with a macabre act of defiance.
Margaret McNeil has lost a father and a brother to the coal mines of Cape Breton. Her grandfather's as good as gone with the black lung, and her mother carries so much bitterness she might as well be buried alongside the lot of them.
In this powerful love story set against the darkness and disasters of mining life, Margaret MacNeil tells the joyful, heart-scalding story of her hard-handed family and her rebellious love for Neil Currie, a miner by trade and a bagpiper for the joy of it.
The Glace Bay Miners' Museum has been adapted both for stage and for film. The film adaptation, released in 1996 as Margaret's Museum, starring Helena Bonham Carter, Clive Russel, and Kate Nelligan, won critical acclaim and a fistful of awards, including a "two thumbs up" from Siskel and Ebert.
