Description

Maeve Binchy's much-loved Irish Times writings spanned five decades.

This timeless collection celebrates the work of the world's best-loved writer, in all its diversity, revealing her characteristic directness, laugh-out-loud humour and unswerving gaze into the true heart of a matter.
