Reader Reviews:
Slow & Boring (0/0 people found this helpful)
I found this book a let down, and I am surprised by the good reviews, but I suppose everyone has different tastes in books. The story is about a group of school children growing up in a small community in Ireland. It follows them up till their adult life. I found that nothing much happened throughout. It only got exciting towards the end when Clare makes a discovery. It is fairly easy to read, but just very slow and I was always wondering what the story was.
Great read - one of her best (0/0 people found this helpful)
Echoes and The Glass Lake are my favourite Maeve Binchy books. I love the warmth. I love the way she tracks changes in Irish society. Any social historian interested in Ireland could read her books in sequence and find out a great deal. Earlier books, like Echoes etc much better than the later ones.
Another good Binchey read (0/0 people found this helpful)
I have read many of Maeve Binchey's books over the last 5 years. This is another in a long line of substantial stories, describing the life of a small Irish town. Hopes and fears, success and failure, happiness and sadness, it's all there. A great insight to fifties and sixties Ireland
Echoes (5/6 people found this helpful)
I think the great thing about Binchy is her unpredictable endings, this is no exception. Again Binchy gives a great insight to Irish life and the witty Irish attitude!
A truly wonderful romance that will have you in tears! (45/51 people found this helpful)
This is the first Maeve Binchy book I read and it has certainly made me impatient for more. Its not like reading its like watching all the events hapenning right before your eyes. The book tells the story of a young girl, her hopes, dreams and her determination and struggle to succeed. It is a bitter sweet romance that will make you want to reach out and comfort the character. If you take the time to read this book, you have my word you will not be disapointed.
