One of the most popular authors in recent times, Maeve Binchy first drew reader's and critics' attention with Light a Penny Cnadle, then with Echoes. This newest bestseller tells about changes that take place in a charming Irish village when a stranger turns a local manor house into a luxury hotel. Firefly Summer will be followed by Delacorte's hardcover, Silver Wedding, in September. HC: Delacorte.
If you enjoy Maeve Binchy's work, this is a must read. That said, it's not her best. There are many wonderful subplots and stories interwoven within the building of a luxury hotel in a small town in Ireland. But, the story does drag on in places...sometimes gets downright slow. But, the tale itself is worth the slow bits, and brings us memorable and enjoyable complex characters we are so accustomed to, with this talented Irish writer.
