I fell in love with Maeve Binchy’s beautiful, visual, relevant writing. This wonderful writer died this past Monday. If you love excellent, readable writing, and you would like to get a feeling for Ireland and the Irish heart and soul, read Maeve Binchy’s books and stories.
“Maeve Binchy, who was one of the most popular and critically acclaimed authors in contemporary Irish literature, selling more than 40 million books, died Monday at a Dublin hospital after a brief illness, according to Irish media. She was 72.”
