A review by abookwanderer
Firefly Summer by Maeve Binchy

4.0

Reading Maeve Binchy was like taking a slow, meandering stroll through the lush Irish countryside--or at least what I would imagine such a stroll to be since I've never visited Ireland. This was my first Binchy novel. I enjoyed her numerous and well-developed characters, but sometimes the attention to all of the secondary characters tempted me to want to skip ahead. I resisted, and usually discovered some little gem of a plot point I would have missed. At 654 pages, Firefly Summer was daunting in the beginning, but this lengthy tome entertained and delighted.
