This collection of short stories is Maeve Binchy at her best. Comprised of tales of various residents of Dublin, the betrayed housewife, the young girl on her own, or the older single girl embarking on losing her virginity....Binchey manages to weave an engaging tapestry of life. The stories move at a quick pace, are character driven and leave you wanting to know more about the people and how their lives continued...a great book to read and reread.

As usual, Maeve Binchy has captured my full attention! After each short story, I felt as if I just finished a complete novel. All the details were there, the characters nicely developed. The endings could have been a little more conclusive, but by no means was I left thinking, "And...?" Bravo for Maeve Binchy! I can't wait for her next release.

What a great find. Vintage Maeve Binchy. Her stories are compelling and don't leave you scratching your head when the story has ended like some short stories do.

This is a collection of 4 short stories. Well written and nicely reprinted with updated graphics on the cover. MS. Binchy's elloquent descriptions sraw you right into the stories. He well written dialog, and believable characters have the reader hoping the tales will never end. A must read for the Binchy fan. A great book for traveling. The stories are short, and time manageable, with all the wonderful insights into the charaters to make new readers & longtime fans satisfied.
