Summary:
From her earliest writing to her most recent, Maeve Binchy's work has included both nostalgic pieces and sharp, often witty, writing which is insightful and topical. But at the heart of all her fiction are the people and their relationships with each other. This volume offers a glorious collection of the very best of her stories, full of the warmth, charm and humour that has always been an essential part of her writing.
