Klappentext:
Discover what inspired Maeve Binchy\'s novels and short stories in this hugely enjoyable collection of her writing from the Irish Times.
\'As someone who fell off a chair not long ago trying to hear what they were saying at the next table in a restaurant, I suppose I am obsessively interested in what some might consider the trivia of other people\'s lives.\'
Maeve Binchy is well known for her bestselling novels, the most recent of which was A WEEK IN WINTER. But for many years Maeve was a journalist, writing for the Irish Times. From \'The Student Train\' to \'Plane Bores\' and \'Bathroom Joggers\' to \'When Beckett met Binchy\', these articles have all the warmth, wit and humanity of her fiction. Arranged in decades, from the 1960s to the 2000s, and including Maeve\'s first and last ever piece of writing for the Irish Times, the columns also give a fascinating insight into the author herself.
With an introduction written by her husband, the writer Gordon Snell, this collection of timelesswriting reminds us of why the leading Irish writer was so universally loved.
Rezension:
This selection of her work represents Binchy\'s eclectic interests, infectious sense of humor and wry take on social change... A blithe, entertaining collection that will surely delight Binchy\'s many fans. KIRKUS
