Vintage Binchey,

This review is from: Dublin 4 (New Portway Large Print Books) (Hardcover)
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.

Small but satisfying doses of Binchy,

This review is from: Dublin 4 (Word for Word Audio Books) (Audio Cassette)
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.
