About this listen
In the small Irish town of Knockglen, best friends Bernadette ('Benny') and Eve are inseparable. Benny is an adored only child, and Eve, a poor, birdlike orphan brought up by nuns.
On their first day at University College, Dublin, a fatal road accident brings the pair together with fellow students Nan Mahon and Jack Foley, and new friendships are quickly struck. Jack and Nan introduce Eve and Benny to a life of excitement and sophistication. But beneath their carefree existence trouble is brewing for the circle of friends.
Warmth and laughter are interwoven with sadness in this compassionate and absorbing tale of friends whose lives, over a period of ten years, become entwined.

My absolute favourite Binchy
I just love everything about this. About the fourth time I’ve returned to it, Kate Binchy’s narration is perfection. I love most of her mother’s books but this one is special. The characters, the twists and humour are wonderful. Intertwined lives as Binchy did the best. Wonderful

A truly beautiful story
The story charts the early blossoms of life from youth to teenage trials and tribulations of Benny. It is truly a beautiful and heart wendering story that simply touches you and one that I would definitely recommend. The reader takes you on Benny's journey with Eve, her best friend and Jack, the love of her life! I can and have listened to this story over and over again, a great purchase.

First Maeve Binchy Book
What an excellent read, I loved the characters and the wonderful narration. I drove, walked and cooked with it for company. I will definitely be reading more of her books.

My first Maeve story!
Absolutely loved this story, it throughly captivated me and I looked forward to hearing more each night.
I named my second born daughter Maeve and felt it only suitable to listen to a maven of literature and who she shares a name with, a try.
I’m glad I did!
I’ve found my new indulgence. I only wish that Maeve Binchy were still here to keep us captivated with even more brilliance.
