Maeve Binchy Wrote Intriguing Stories!!!

I have been reading Mave Binchy's stories for 16 yeares and I must say her work always touches my heart. She seems to just understand how simple and complicated people are in life.

I can’t even finish it

I love Maeve Binchy. So, I’m surprisingly disappointed in this audio book. It’s hard to follow with the radio show format but I stuck with it for several hours. But, the characters aren’t very likable and the story skips around too much. I’m not going to waste any more time trying to get into it. Sorry Maeve!
