Didn’t Like It “Lots of interesting and fun characters. Another good one by Meave, but not the best I've read by her.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“Binchy back in true form. Really enjoyed the characters and how she brings back favorites from other books. Very likable. Hard to put down.”

“Typical Binchy, no depth, but when I want a taste of Britain and such, I grab one of hers off the shelf.”

“This is Maeve Binchy at her best, weaving the stories of all those different characters together, making you care about these people as if you know them - plus this time, she brought a whole load of characters from her previous novels together, which was really nice, so much so that it gave me a desperate urge to re-read Nights of Rain and Stars as I want to remind myself of what happened back then... yes, a few of the characters from NofR&S popped up - remember Vonni? and Fiona? - plus Simon & Maud the weird twins from Scarlet Feather, Nora from Evening Class... all gone into the stew with some new people who I hope will also turn up in some future novel, she has certainly left me wanting to know what happens next with Clara...”

“I liked this book but didn't love it. It's about a doctor named Clare who is going through a divorce from her ex That Bastard Alan, and has allowed both of her adult daughters to live with her. She is challenged by her new job as the director of a heart clinic that is a 1-year trial project by the hospital where she works. As the director, she has to make all the decisions from staffing to decorating to treatment plans for patients.

The book follows the lives of a large host of characters - Clara, her daughters, the nurses at the clinic, a handsome young doctor, the Polish immigrant Ania who Clara hires as an assistant, some of the patients, the administrator Frank who makes Clara's life difficult... It's well-written but not amazing. ”“You will love that characters from her other books continue to pop up in this book.”
