Heart and Soul

If you like this author, you will enjoy this book. It is a light, easy read. I am always a bit sad when I'm done a Binchy book, as I feel as I will miss the characters.

One of my favourite Maeve Binchy books! Many lives explored and she has a wonderful ability to interweave her characters! An excellent book from and excellent author.

A great follow up to Nights of Rain and Stars. I thought it was a good story without that typical Irish Angst that Maeve Binchy is so famous for. In both novels there were likeable characters who weren't constantly doing stupid things to ruin their own lives. Just ordinary people trying their best to muddle through while demonstrating the power of love and kindness. It's also fun how she ties in previous novels & their characters.

I did not like this book at all. I hated how every chapter concerned itself with different characters with hardly any crossover. They were like seperate short stories that only slightly came together at the end of the book......in a very predictable way! The relationships among characters were very poorly developed, as was the story line. It's the first book I read by this author and I must say I was not impressed!!!
