There is something very special about Maeve Binchy’s writing. The first time I read one of her books it was 1990. In the 27 years since then she has continued to produce books that are in-depth explorations into people’s hearts and minds. She does not do this ruthlessly or clinically, like a surgeon making a deep cut. She does so with delicacy, sensitivity, and a garden of compassion.
Are her books all rainbows and unicorns? Not by any stretch of the imagination. The endings are always positive and affirming, but the pathway to the ending is layered with the grit and gravel of real life. Part of the specialness in her writing seems to me to be choice of language. For instance, there is a big difference between someone giving up on something out of disgust and giving up on something out of despair. One of them elicits far more empathy in this reader than the other.
This particular book was presented in a series of character spotlights with all of them tying together. As in real life, each individual experienced their life and the other people in the village from their own perspective, through their own lenses, tinted by their own conditioning and growth. It is very deftly done and highlights yet again how people can live in the same place and share a moment, a decade, a life and yet experience it so differently. Perception is such an amazing force and probably doesn’t receive the respect – nor the fear, perhaps – that it deserves.
The characters are all so well-done, and the story so satisfying, I couldn’t help but draw it out as long as I could. I really didn’t want it to end and I wouldn’t have minded being invited into even more of the villager’s homes, hearts, and minds.
Reading this book felt like being cuddled in a big old comfy armchair; safe, secure, and blissfully knowing that no matter the trials and challenges the characters in the book encounter, all will be well in the end.
