" I probably wouldn't have read it if it had not been a book club assignment. That said, it did keep me enough interested to finish it. "

" A very light read. I liked other Maeve Binchy that I have read better. This one didn't involve me very much. A group of tourists meet on a Greek island and get to know one another, and we see how their lives evolve and how everything ends up for them. One thing I like about Binchy is how her characters overlap all of her books. Fiona, and maybe others, is mentioned in other books. "

" The four stars is for writing an entrancing book in which I can lose myself and forget my worries. The definition of "great literature" depends on what the reader is needing from the literature? "

" Great character development and amazing how unique each one seemed. First book of hers I read, and not the usual kind of book that I read, so was happily surprised that it was not the sappy romance novel I expected. "

" I cheated and listened to this book on CD. It was so fantastic! I loved the narrator and the Greek, German, Irish, English and American accents. I recommend listening to it. Also, no swearing and a positive plot. "

" Not my favorite. Reminds me of a Nicholas Sparks or Jodi Poulett "

" this book is quite good though i might say her other book,the glass lake is probably her best work. "

Barb Bailey | 12/15/2013
" I liked this book alot... I enjoy reading Binchey and have read almost all her books. The best two she wrote are The Copper Beech and Circle of Friends. "

Suzy | 12/14/2013
" sad and trite - hate to see a writer I admired become so predictable. Buy it for the beach or the plane and leave it where you finish it. "

Brett | 10/17/2013
" I loved it! Binchy is so descriptive - I want to go to this island now! I feel like the characters could be real people and I hope their lives continued happily after the end of this book! "

" You don't feel driven by the plot in this book, but the characters are intriguing enough to make you want to keep reading. The setting is beautiful. "

" enjoyable ensemble of people thrown together during a tragedy. After reading this novel, by one of my favorite authors, I would love to visit Greece. "

Callie | 1/11/2013
" Many very different people all brought together by one single incident, a horrible boating accident that they all happen to witness. How their lives are changed and forever entwined. One of my very favorites from the wonderful author Maeve Binchy. "
-




Mary Taitt | 9/6/2012
" Liked it a lot! I cried. (lots). It was interesting to me, the details of the town and the people's lives. My only problem was it was predictable. The ending. "

Irene Slater | 6/21/2012
" Light read, fun but predictable. "

" I read this quite awhile ago but just listened to it in the car again - a good story (although the woman doing the voices seemed to think all Americans sound like John Wayne) "
-




Celia | 2/10/2012
" 2.5 stars. If you're looking for a completely mindless, entertaining read, this is it. It won't win any awards for plot or writing skills, but it was exactly the distraction I was craving. I haven't read Binchy since high school but I enjoyed her almost as much as I did as a teenager. "
-




Jaclyn | 12/12/2011
" This was good, enjoyed all the people being friends with one another and helping each other. "
-




Dee | 5/16/2011
" This was an okay read.
Travelers with a lot of "baggage" meet unexpectedly at a small coastal Greek town and share their problems with locals, who in turn share their problems with the travelers.
Relationships are formed and personal insights are gained.

TaniaM | 4/25/2011
" Uma história muito engraçada que tendo como pano de fundo a Grécia se torna ainda mais apelativa, com personagens aliciantes, uma amálgama de nacionalidades e histórias de amor complexas!

Lisa | 4/9/2011
" It's amazing what you'll read when you're in Italy and you've run out of English books to read and this is the only thing on the swap shelf in the hotel in Positano.
Thank heavens we now have Kindles...
