“This is my all time favorite of Maeve Binchy. No one else in the world can come close to how her
books make me feel when I read them. I have re read this and others about 5 times each....good for the bathtub when
there is nothing else to read.”

“I read and loved Tara Road last year, so I was looking forward to another of Binchy's works. Unfortunately for me I chose this one. It started off fairly interesting, with the story of the Ryan family, and their quiet life in rural Ireland during 1962. Along comes Patrick O'Neill, a wealthy Irish American with great plans for a hotel in the area, where his family once lived. The impact of this man, his plans, and his family's interaction with the families of the town was a promising story....”
