RIP Maeve Binchy

Where have I been?!

Just read that one of my favorite authors passed away last summer.

Maeve Binchy was a great storyteller. I always felt as if I were right there experiencing everything just as her characters did.

Circle of Friends was made into a movie but that was not my favorite book of hers. Some of my favorite Binchy books are The Lilac Bus, Evening Class, London Transports and Night of Rain and Stars.

Before Ms. Binchy passed, she completed her final book which I cannot wait to read.

Have you ever read her books? Do you have a favorite?

"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends;
they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors,
and the most patient of teachers."
~Charles W. Eliot

I love her novels, too, and was so sorry when she passed away. I loved Evening Class.

XO,
