Heart and Soul

by Maeve Binchy

Clara Casey has more than enough on her plate. Her daughters Adi and Linda were no problem at all during the usually turbulent teens. Now in their twenties, Adi is always fighting for or against something: the environment or the whale or battery farming; while Linda lurches from one unsatisfactory relationship to the next.

But when an acquaintance turns into a nightmare he needs help to rescue his reputation...

There is just something comforting about Maeve Binchy's books, like curling up on a chilly night with a warm blanket and hot cup of cocoa and revisiting old friends. Miz Binchy is an expert at creating wonderful and quirky characters and intermingling their lives from book to book and her latest did not disappoint in the least!
