A review by nicki_j
Circle of Friends by Maeve Binchy

4.0

What a lovely novel. Completely blew my expectations out of the water. This book was recommended by one of those "books you should read" internet articles and I wasn't thrilled about it - I thought it might be cheesy. I didn't expect for the writing to be so good and to get completely caught up in 1950's Dublin. I love how Binchy writes - her turn of phrase and the way she moves the plot. The only thing lacking was what Jack was thinking in the bulk of the novel - I couldn't always figure out why he did the things he did.
