This book started off quite slow but Binchy's descriptive writing kept me reading. The more I read the more I grew to like the charictors. This is a good read if you are looking for a story of self discovery and growth. Slice of life. There are some triggering topics so be warned.

Great book set in Ireland that is an easy read with wonderful stories. It is one of those that you cannot put down.
Although I enjoyed the style of the narrative, jumping ahead through time quickly but sticking to seemingly important moments of life, it was predictable and a little too rosy cheeked for me. Alls well the ends well though and it was an interesting journey into the supposed differences in American vs Irish life in the 90’s.
