Reviews
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.
