I love characters that are so real you empathize with them through all their ups and downs. Very different from the movie, but that was also very enjoyable as I recall.

When the girls graduate from high school and move on to college in Dublin, they are introduced to a whole new group of friends and a whole new
Never before an author managed to keep me awake all night and hours beyond sun rise to finish their novel.But Binchy did! And she did it twice.. Once about two years ago with The Glass Lake when I stayed with the book in my hand all night until 8 in the morning when I finally finished it AND yesterday as I stayed in bed from 11:30 till almost 7 in the morning with the little lamp guiding my eyes page after page as I impatiently yet gladly follow Binchy's plots..No praise a humble reading like
