This story of a new cardiac clinic in Dublin and all of the people involved is comfort reading at its best. I've been a fan of Maeve Binchy for years, but I think this is actually better than some of her more recent novels. The characters are so well drawn, you really get involved in their lives and care about them. Even though there are some characters from previous novels, if you're new to Maeve Binchy, this is still a good one to start with.

This excellent graphic novel begins with a rabbi's cat eating a parrot and gaining the gift of speech. The cat's subsequent opinions on Judaism are hilarious and insightful. The story takes place in Alergia and Paris in the 1930s and provides a warm and interesting picture of Jewish life and explores some of the differences between secular and religious Jews at that time.
