Reading Maeve is like chatting with an old friend...

Better than the movie! A great story about friendship and love and being true to yourself over both.

It began with Benny Hogan and Eve Malone, growing up, inseparable, in the village of Knockglen Benny - the only child, yearning to break free from her adoring parents...Eve-the orphaned offspring of a convent handyman, and a rebellious blueblood, abandoned by her mother's wealthy family to be raised by nuns. Eve and Benny-they knew the sins and secrets behind every villager's lace curtains...except their own.

I just love Maeve Binchy's books and this one doesn't disappoint. I was sad to see it end and will always wonder what happened to Benny, Eve, Jack, Nan and the others.

Definitely my favorite Maeve Binchy book!! I couldn't put it down the characters were richly woven in this lovely Irish tale of friends growing up.

I really enjoyed this book after the movie being a favorite of mine for a long time. It brought the characters to life for me.
