Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

As a child, Elizabeth White was sent from her war-torn London home to a safer life in the small Irish town of Kilgarret. It was there, in the crowded, chaotic O'Connor household, that she met Aisling-who would become her very best friend, sharing her pet kitten and secretly teaching her the intricacies of Catholicism. Aisling's boldness brought Elizabeth out of her proper shell; later, her support carried Elizabeth through the painful end of her parents' chilly marriage. In return, Elizabeth's friendship helped Aisling endure her own unsatisfying marriage to a raging alcoholic. Through the years, they always believed they could survive anything, as long as they had each other. Now they're about to find out if they were right...

Synopsis:

Maeve Binchy's first novel, published in 1983, is available in this beautiful new reissue. The events of World War II find a young English girl in Ireland under the care of the boisterous O'Connor family. Through them she meets the young lady destined to become her best friend and together they will endure years of change, joy, sorrow, an unbreakable bond that nothing can tear asunder.

A potboiler epic, melodramatic and mesmerizing, that's hard to put down.
