Description
'Her storytelling ability is second to none' SUNDAY EXPRESS
'Maeve Binchy is a master storyteller' NEW YORK TIMES
'The Irish do love telling stories, and we are suspicious of people who don't have long, complicated conversations. There used to be a rule in etiquette books that you should invite four talkers and four listeners to a dinner party. That doesn't work in Ireland, because nobody knows four listeners' Maeve Binchy
Maeve Binchy's bestselling novels not only tell wonderful stories, they also provide an insight into how Ireland has changed over the decades, yet highlight how people remain the same: they still fall in love, sometimes unsuitably; they still have hopes and dreams; they have deep, long-standing friendships, and some that fall apart.
From her earliest writing to her most recent, Maeve's work has included wonderfully nostalgic pieces alongside sharp, often witty writing that is insightful and topical.
At the heart of all Maeve's fiction are the people and their relationships with each other. A Few of the Girls is a glorious collection of the very best of her writing, full of the warmth, charm and humour that has always been essentially Maeve.
