Confession-I‘ve owned this book for around 20 yrs & hadn‘t read it. This felt like a really long book (my copy has small print & is about 640 pages). Not much seems to happen, it‘s a normal small village during a 4 year period. A rich American moves in to find his roots & build a hotel. He & his family impact the town in different ways. Interesting characters. Not my fave Binchy, but all her books are good.

I always try find an image of the cover I actually read but this one was nicer. I‘m always amazed at what publishers choose.

I think i need to be in a different headspace or try a different format.

Will shortly post the final discussion questions for the #MaeveBinxhyBuddyRead of #FireflySummer.

Due to illness and work this discussion has taken longer than initially planned, thanks to those of you that have been patient and stayed the course in this one. 👏👏👍😊

The next Buddy Read starts tomorrow and we will be reading Silver Wedding. I will post the schedule tomorrow with th first discussion questions being posted on Sunday.

Been an impossible month, first with work tasks and targets, then with being ill over past 10 days - all of which has interfered with this buddy read. 😔

However I will shortly post the questions for Chapters 19 - 21.

I'm quite far behind on the #MaeveBinchyBuddyRead, so the #readathon this weekend has been kismet! I managed to read a large chunk (over half way through this 900 page book), and even though I want to read a bit more tonight, I think it's almost time to call it a night. My snack of choice while reading this evening, a rooibos tea (already drunk) and Australian strawberry licorice.

Finding reading time the past few weeks has been tough but will post the questions shortly for Chapters 17 - 18. Hoping to finish the rest of the book this weekend. #MaeveBinchyBuddyRead #FireflySummer

Kate Ryan and her husband, John, have a pub in the Irish village of Mountfern. American millionaire Patrick O'Neill comes to town with an idea to build a hotel with a bar that could put a dent into the Ryan's business. I enjoy Maeve Binchy's books but I am not happy with the abrupt ending of this one. I will continue to read her books because I find the characters very entertaining. Highly recommend her books if you love to read about Ireland.

Will shortly post the questions for Chapters 14 - 16 of the#MaeveBinchyBuddyRead . Apologies so far behind been a nightmare fortnight and snowed under with work.

Read for 6 hours 30 minutes today in the #24B4Monday #Readathon around work. This brings my total so far to 10 hours 56 minutes.

An enjoyable read with all the greatness of Maeve Binchy in it! A quaint Irish village with all its quirky inhabitants, as well as an American man with Irish roots, moving there with his two children to live the Irish dream. Things do not turn out to be so much fifty shades of green after all once the reader gets to know the village and it‘s people. The abrupt ending took me by surprise! Another good book by Binchy!

I will shortly post the discussion questions for Chapters 9 - 13.
