Circle of Friends

by Maeve Binchy

Random House UK | July 18, 2006 | Trade Paperback

It began with Benny Hogan and Eve Malone, growing  up, inseparable, in the village of Knockglen.  Benny--the only child, yearning to break free from  her adoring parents...Eve--the orphaned offspring  of a convent handyman and a rebellious blueblood,  abandoned by her mother''s wealthy family to be  raised by nuns. Eve and Benny--they knew the sins  and secrets behind every villager''s lace  curtains...except their own.

It widened at Dublin,  at the university where Benny and Eve met  beautiful Nan Mahlon and Jack Foley, a doctor''s handsome  son. But heartbreak and betrayal would bring the  worlds of Knockglen and Dublin into explosive  collision. Long-hidden lies would emerge to test the  meaning of love and the strength of ties held within  the fragile gold bands of a... Circle Of  Friends.

    One of the first

    I read Circle of Friends during my first year of college, which was in keeping with what the book characters were experiencing at the time. There were a lot of similarities in my own little Circle of Friends and this book hit me like a ton of school books. Benny's tears and triumphs, glowing young men and women that lose their lustre and MB's trademark sense of humour are what make this book fantastic. This was the book that got me hooked on MB. I will remain a loyal fan of her writing forever!
