Although it took me a quite a while to read, as it is long [650 pages?], I did enjoy this book. It is fairly easy reading, even though Maeve Binchy has a reputation for having lots of characters, and I was able to keep track of them all. In many ways, the fact that the book mostly takes place in Dublin is not relevant; the story is about the people. The characters are quite well drawn; some are likable, others are clearly villains. There are quite a few that I found a bit annoying - much like real life really. I do like a book with a start, a middle and an end.
I am sure that I'll be returning to read more of Maeve Binchy's books.
