She's a whiny, self-involved person who takes very little responsibility for her role in the family and her circumstances in life. Margaret loves her mother, but I had a hard time liking this character. In the beginning of the book, Margaret's father has a consciousness pang, where he realizes he can't in all good faith continue being a priest in the Church of England, so he resigns his living in the parsonage, and they move to a northern manufacturing town called Milton, where he does Private tutoring, helped out by his connection to Mr Bell, a Fellow in Oxford College, whom Margaret's father had known as a fellow student. Her mother, a former great beauty, was from a rich family, but she fell in love with her husband, a priest in the Church of England, and married him, much to her family's distress. Margaret and her parents live in the south of England.
