'The ideal doorstopper to occupy long, dark evenings’
*Daily Mail*
She was just so aware of everyday people, and when I read her first
book, Light a Penny Candle, I swore I knew every character in the
book. I have read and re-read most of her books. I could not pick
one, just all Maeve Binchy. She helps me switch off!
