Cozy vignettes made for a fun read, but the sheer number of characters became hard to follow halfway through.

This is my second time reading this book and it has been many years in between, but I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. As always, Maeve Binchy is brilliant with her characters and storytelling. I am never disappointed by her books. I also love that many of the characters in this book appear in later novels that she wrote. It’s like meeting up with old friends.
