I love this book so much! My favourite Binchy I've read. It is quite a long book but I just could not put it down. Was interesting the whole way through。
4.5 / 5 stars ⭐️

This was a re-read, comforting, but still entertaining.

1950s rural Ireland and London are both rather different places from each other but are some of the places the women in this story end up. The McMahon household is visited by tragedy when Kit's mother goes missing. The mother and daughter relationship drives a lot of the narrative but there are a wealth of other women whose stories weave in and out. (There are a lot of ups and downs they have to survive.) Sister Madeleine is a fascinating character among the village and city folk, listening with compassion and not saying too much. It's a lengthy book but a very easy read.

Maeve Binchy is so easy to read. Her books are completely character driven and sweet. They are nice summer afternoon reads, and the taste of the British Isles adds a soft breeze to the reading experience.
