I am always biased toward Maeve Binchy; reading her novels feels like settling down with old friends. For that reason, I was disappointed upon finishing Silver Wedding, not because the characters weren’t intriguing or because something lacked in the writing style, but simply because all of these elements were present. This story was far too brief, with larger typeface and still only a mere 389 pages in my Mass Market paperback edition, I knew this going into reading, which is one of the main reasons I have been hesitant to read it for so long, but I still so desperately want to know more about the family and the characters surrounding them. The novel left me with so many unanswered questions and an overwhelming feeling that the story was only just getting started. As I have said before, and will undoubtedly repeat over and over again in these reviews, I feel that Binchy’s stories could go on indefinitely, the world she has created is so rich and believable. My rating is purely based on my feeling of incompleteness, the story itself is classic Binchy.
