"A selection of 4 short stories originally written for radio by Maeve Binchy. I listened to the audio version and all were well read by notable actors. As usual with her work, Binchy is able to entertain with her compassionate approach to her characters." — Dot (4 out of 5 stars)

" It's been a long time since I ready a book my Binchy and I loved this one! I wanted more when it was over! And I loved the subtle references to other paces and characters in previous books! "
" These four short stories each have a strong woman at the center, but each one is not what she first appears. A quick and satisfying read. "
" This is the weakest of Binchy's books. "
" not up to her usual standard "
