A Few of the Girls

Stories

By: Maeve Binchy

Narrated by: Sile Bermingham, Jayne Entwistle, John Lee, Katharine Lee McEwan

From Maeve Binchy’s earliest writings to the most recent, her work is filled with wisdom and common sense and also a sharp, often witty voice that is insightful and reaches out to her readers around the world and of all ages. Whether it is one of her best-selling novels or a short story, Maeve shows us that times may have changed, but people often remain the same: they fall in love, sometimes unsuitably; they have hopes and dreams; they have deep, long-standing friends whose secrets are shared; they go on holidays and celebrate new jobs . . .

A Few of the Girls is a glorious collection of the very best of her short story writing, stories that were written over the decades—some published in magazines, others for friends as gifts, many for charity benefits. The stories are all filled with the signature warmth and humor that have always been an essential part of Maeve’s appeal.

Not my favorite

I enjoyed a couple of the stories, but this is not all I had hoped for.

I have so much love for Maeve Binchy

So many wonderful stories and perspectives on life. I only wish there were a hundred more of her books to read.

Wonderful adventures! - Karen Reese

This is a favorite author of mine. I have read all her books and was so sad when she passed. Her writings makes one feel like they are sitting down with a cup of tea, friends sharing their lives with you. The only remorse is just as a storyline was set in motion, that was the end! Highly recommend this author and any/all of her books!

All good character studies.

Her characters are so real. She knows her people. Some we like and some we don’t.

Would like Kate to have been the reader

I liked the stories very much. Mrs. Binchy certainly captured (observed) our human nature (foibles and all) - sometimes with an OUCH observation. I would have preferred that Kate read the stories.
