Whitethorn Woods

As always, Ms Binchy delivers! She is one of my fave authors and I look forward to every new book. The characters are interesting and she makes you feel like you have visited their hometown. LOVED IT!

Too formula

I couldn't maintain my concentration while reading this. I finished it because I wanted to stay committed to the author and give the storyline a chance but it didn't make the grade. Predictability is the word that best describes this work.

Readable

I love Maeve Binchy, and I was greatly looking forward to reading this book. I enjoyed it and found it quite readable. Problem is, it's all these short stories with great character development. Just when you really get interested in a person off they go and are never heard of again. I was really hoping for some satisfaction at the end, but alas it doesn't end it just dies.

A Fun Trip to Ireland

Maeve Binchy is priceless, and this book reveals why. Her characters are displayed in at least four dimensions, and some in five. She playfully challenges the reader's memory for names and qualities. She nudges the reader toward disquieting topics with soothing style and poetic justice. She let's you stay in your place, while paradoxically transporting you to her Ireland.

I agree that this book might not be, technically speaking, a novel, but it won't matter to the reader; because, with St. Ann and Whitethorn Woods as purposeful characters, the plot doesn't need to be extant.

Here's (Hoist a pint of Murphy`s or Guinness, your preference) to Maeve Binchy, the Happy Existentialist, and a modern bard without living peer.

I loved the stories and the lilt of the language ... I could hear the characters speaking.
