Whitethorn Woods

Reading Maeve Binchy is like slipping into a warm bath, or your favourite fuzzy slippers. Or maybe like getting a hug from your Nana. Comfortable.
Whitethorn is the fourth book, I believe, from Maeve since she announced her retirement a few years ago. It's a series of stories about people living near a shrine to St. Ann, in a small Irish town. The shrine is threatened by a new highway.
This isn't my favourite Maeve (that would be Scarlet Feather or Tara Road) but it's a pleasant, easy read, that Maeve fans should enjoy.
