Mauve Binchy retired a couple of years ago and said she was done with the loneliness of writing and had no other tales to tell. I have always been quite an ardent fan of Ms. Binchy's and this book was a nice read but not a patch on some of her earlier works - The Copper Beech, Tara Road, etc. She may have been right and she doesn't have any more tales to tell. I do wish however she would go back to the stories of village life in Ireland and hopes and dreams of the villages. She really knows that material and I've had enough of the "town" stories. They become all alike.
