Review of Heart and Soul - Maeve Binchy

The Heart and Soul of the Irish health service.

Advantages: Characters are well explored.
Disadvantages: All a bit sugar coated.

As readers to my page know, I have had a bit of a Marian Keyes spell of reading, so I thought I would have a change. Not much of a change, to be fair, as I returned to a previous favourite for easy reading, in Maeve Binchy. Again, another Irish female author, and one who I trust to give me a good yarn at the end of a busy day. I was given several hard back copies of her novels by my sister, one of which was ?Heart and Soul?.

I have Whitethorn Woods to read, also, so I feel a bit let down that I wasn?t made aware of this by the author when I was choosing which book to start with.

Review of Heart and Soul - Maeve Binchy

Heart & Soul (Love & Friendship by Binchy)

Advantages: A good story
Disadvantages: A strong feeling of "déjà vu"

I bought this Orion book (hardback edition) on my trip to London last month. Usually, I try to take my time reading Maeve Binchy's novels but I've finished now and can say a few words about it today. I went to Waterstone's to get it because it's my favourite English bookshop. I don't regret it for I paid £ 12,99 instead of £ 18,99. What's more, there is an enclosed CD with 3 short stories read by Kate Binchy. I have been reading Maeve Binchy's novels for a dozen years now. My collection is almost complete (one or two are missing, I think). I find her stories nice, easy to read (especially for me, who isn't a native speaker). For instance, to me, detective stories are too difficult to follow. ♥ Heart & Soul : The plot First, what you have to know is that "Heart & Soul" is a sequel to "Whitethorn Woods" (a novel ...
