Surprising

I needed a change after quite a few mysteries/thrillers and thought I'd give this a try. I was pleasantly surprised how enjoyable it was. The characters were all very likeable, the story kept your interest and, of course, I love anything Irish. The ending wasn't what I would have written but you can't have everything.

Loved the story, the Irish humor and the narrator

Great listen. The narrator was wonderful. Laughed out loud and often. Maeve Binchy is one of my new favorites.

Heartwarming and Humorous

Heartwarming and humorous, laughed throughout, despite everyone working hard through difficult challenges.
My very favorite Maeve Binchy book.
The young twins are particularly delightful and memorable.
Highly recommend.

Lovely!

As always, Maeve Binchy delivers a wonderful story with believable and sympathetic characters - and even a few you love to hate. And I’m always a fan of a pretty ending.

I loved this story

The characters and stories around each of them is so winsome. This is a wonderful book. Wished it would continue.
