If you're a Maeve Binchy fan, here's your last chance for a new book. This is Binchy's final novel, published posthumously following her death last year. And it's typical Binchy all the way.
What do I love about Binchy novels? The warm characters, the beautiful scenery, and the very "Irishness" of them. This one does not disappoint. Chicky is a small town girl from Western Ireland who falls in love with an American boy and goes with him to New York City. When she returns to her small town of Stoneybridge without him some 30-years later she decides to open in inn in the big house on the hill. With the help of her friends and family she creates the perfect environment for a relaxing week in winter.
Aside from Chicky, her niece Orla, and her friends Miss Queenie and Rigger, we meet by turns each of the group of guests for the opening week of business. They're all unique, and all are looking for a unique experience from their week's stay at Stone House - and they all get what they are looking for.
This is just a lovely Irish story, and a must-read for all Maeve Binchy fans.
A Week in Winter
