John, the American movie star who 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.

Add a Commentreally liked this last book by Ms. Binchy. the stories within the story were interesting, some better than others. the only character in the book I wanted to know more of was Rigger's mother. I wanted her to come and stay week at the house. I loved Tara Road most of all her books. She will be missed by all lovers of books.
I'm still waiting to read this one, but have loved many of her books. She will be missed. Although not romance, Tana French is another wonderful Irish writer. She writes a good psychological suspense/mystery. If you're looking for books set in Ireland, give her a try!
I truly enjoy Ms. Binchy's writing, she is very insightful about human nature. There are also teachable moments in most, if not all of her novels.
A home, Stone House, is transformed into a place for guests on the west coast of Ireland. Great storytelling and characters! I will miss this author!
May be Maeve Binchy's best book. How sad there will be no more...
Another great read from Maeve Binchy. Her characters are always so full and complex and likable even when they are not so much. I will miss reading new stories from her. Love you, Maeve! Rest in peace.
Loved the story with its humor and storyline with characters. Will enjoy reading more of her books....she will continue to live through her story telling. RIP Maeve Binchy.
As with all her books I read it very quickly which is easy to do. However I was just a bit disappointed in the format even though all the characters came together in a satisfactory way. Still I'm happy to have read it - she will be greatly missed.
Magnificent... Couldn't wait...had to purchase it and finished it in two nights. So sad as there is no one like her. Cathy Kelly and Sheila Flanagan are close but cannot weave the characters into the seamless web that is her hallmark.
will really miss Maeve Binchy ... loved her books
