Reuniting some of our favourite Maeve Binchy characters, this is a delightful collection of linked stories from No. 1 bestselling author of NIGHTS OF RAIN AND STARS. 'She is the Queen of Fiction . . . once you read Maeve you are hooked for life' Irish Times - Grand Central Pub
Superb storytelling from one of the world's best-loved writers.
Just round the corner from St Jarlath's Crescent (featured in MINDING FRANKIE) is Chestnut Street. Here, the lives of the residents are revealed in Maeve Binchy's wonderfully compelling tales:
Bucket Maguire, the window cleaner, who must do more than he bargained for to protect his son. Nessa Byrne, whose aunt comes to visit from America for six weeks every summer and turns the house - and Nessa's world - upside down. Lilian, the generous girl with a big heart, and the fiancé not everyone approves of. And Melly, whose gossip about the neighbours leads to trouble in the form of the fortune teller, 'Madame Magic'...
'In Chestnut Street [there is] enough kindness, wisdom and insight into human nature, to remind readers why Maeve Binchy was one of the most beloved writers this country has ever produced' Irish Times
