I cannot stand the thought of a world without Maeve Binchy novels in it! They are so calming and charming. I always find myself drinking cups of tea and dreaming about living in Ireland! The other thing I love about her books is the way she weaves in characters from past books. Without spending a lot of time on them, we still get to find out what has happened in their lives since the last book.
The main character in this book is Noel. He is in his twenties and going no where fast. He still lives with his parents and has a dead-end job. To make things more palatable, he drinks.... a lot...at all times of the day and night. One day he receives a phone call from a woman called Stella. He vaguely remembers a drunken weekend spent with her. Turns out that she is terminally ill and pregnant with his daughter. To give Frankie a chance at life, it is going to take a whole village to raise this child. It is a wonderful read if you don't require non-stop action, gore or sex!
