Whitethorn Woods by Maeve Binchy

Maeve Binchy is such a comfort ... her books are full of wisdom with the characters all carefully interwoven. This latest offering centres cleverly around the theme of the Holy Well in Whitethorn Woods where people go hopefully to pray to St.Ann for a variety of personal reasons. The Woods are threatened by a new road and we learn about the past and future hopes of the residents in Rossmore in an astute and gentle way in which Maeve Binchy excells! A book for bedtime which will not cause sleepless nights - a book for Granny with inoffensive language, but best of all a book to enjoy and enjoy again another day!
