3.5 stars. This book was more typical of Binchy's short story style, where people's problems get solved & lives get straightened out. Though a novel, it's really several individual stories tied together, and it also makes reference to people & places from her previous novels. An easy and peaceful read. ( ) A Week in Winter - Binchy Audio performance by Rosalyn Landor 3.5 stars This was classic Maeve Binchy. The series of linked short stories were full of mostly likable characters. The characters come together for the opening week of a Bed & Breakfast on the west coast of Ireland. There’s a pleasant cozy atmosphere despite a long list of differing traumas and life challenges that each character brings with them to the inn. It was easy listening and while I enjoyed it, I’m unlikely to retain many of the details. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"Maeve Binchy, "the grand story teller,"* returns with a cast of characters you will never forget when they all spend a winter week together on holiday at Stone House, a restful inn by the sea... Stoneyville is a small town on the coast of Ireland where all the families know each other. When Chicky decides to take an old decaying mansion, Stone House, and turn it into a restful place for a holiday by the sea, the town thinks she is crazy. She is helped by Rigger (a bad boy turned good who is handy around the place) and her niece Orla (a whiz at business). Finally the first week of paying guests arrive: John, the American movie star thinks he has arrived incognito; Winnie and Lillian, forced into taking a holiday together; Nuala and Henry, husband and wife , both doctors who have been shaken by seeing too much death; Anders, the Swedish boy, hates his father's business, but has a real talent for music; Miss Nell Howe, a retired school teacher, who criticizes everything and leaves a day early, much to everyone's relief; the Walls who have entered in 200 contests (and won everything from a microwave oven to velvet curtains, including the week at Stone House); and Freda , the psychic who is afraid of her own visions. You will laugh and cry as you spend the week with this odd group who share their secrets and might even have some of their dreams come true. "-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
