A book of loosely connected stories...all of the people have some connection to a small town in Ireland called Rossmoor and a well in the woods that is dedicated to Saint Ann, where people go to pray for intercessions. A fun, escapist read, although I would not count it among her best.

I didn't care for this one as much as her others. More short stories than a novel. Too many ends left undone.

I enjoyed the stories of the individual characters throughout the book, just had trouble keeping them straight until the author reveals in the very last chapter how everyone was interconnected. Good read.

Maeve Binchy continues to write an interesting, engaging story. Though not her best (I still think Circle of Friends was her best effort)it was a nice relaxed read.
