Just when I think the last book I read by ms. Binchy is my favorite, I read another and love it more than the last. This was another shining example of her grasp of inter-personal relationships. Her cousin, Kate Binchy, narrated the book and was marvelous. she handled the diverse accents beautifully. I find after reading a Maeve Binchy book I want to have coffee with her characters. I finished this book on tax day, my kitty Sabrina's birthday, and my daughter's modeling graduation.
