Irish Girls about Town
Irish Girls about Town | Maeve Binchy
3 posts | 8 read | 2 to read
"Ah go on...tell us." "New York Times" bestselling authors Maeve Binchy and Marian Keyes top an impressive roster of the Emerald Isle's most popular women writers and prove that when it comes to spinning a good yarn, the Irish are the best in the business. Showcasing dazzling wit and remarkable insight in short stories that run the gamut from provocative to poignant, these Irish women will tug at your heartstrings and have you crying with laughter in no time. "She did what?!" In Maeve Binchy's "Carissima," a longtime ex-pat and free spirit returns to Ireland from Sicily and shakes things up for her family, who finds her life utterly scandalous. In "Soulmates," by Marian Keyes, one woman's relationship is so bleedin' perfect in every way that it's driving her friends up the wall. In Cathy Kelly's "Thelma, Louise and the Lurve Gods," two women on a madcap, Stateside road trip have completely opposite reactions to a pair of insanely good-looking men. In these stories, and throughout this fabulous collection, Ireland's finest women authors celebrate the joys and perils of love, the adventure and constancy of female friendships, and their own irresistible brand of Irish charm.

Funnily, this is the sort of writing I enjoyed in high school, when I was still a ways off from the target audience. Now that I've reached that target, realized I'm aroace, and happily come to terms with the fact that romance and the typical relationships we're generally expected to want will have absolutely no role in my life, this sort of writing just grates on me. There were one or two stories I enjoyed but overall they were very meh.
