First by author
Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
Why I added this book to my TBR pile: I heard about Maeve Binchy a few years ago, probably after her death. I wasn't sure I'd like her but with my foray into women's literature and with Binchy being Irish, I put her on my list.
Will I read more of the author?Probably Not Maybe Highly Likely
The story structure of this book was unusual; I'm not sure if all her books have multiple characters telling multiple stories that loosely relate to one theme. In some ways I liked this approach and in other ways, I did not. I will try another book to see how it goes.
The narrators were Sile Bermingham and Paul Michael. Ms. Bermingham must have been the main narrator because there were times when I didn't initially grasp it was a man telling the story. I guess Mr. Michael introduced the chapters???
