A Week in Winter by Maeve Binchy

It is with a heavy heart that I write this review.  The author passed away last July.

A Week in Winter is a foray into a list of delightful characters staying at a stone house on the coast of Ireland.  Ms. Binchy's descriptions are so powerful, one can hear the waves crashing on the shore and the sound of gulls in the air.

Always known for her characters, this book shows again why readers love this author.  We are drawn into the company of strangers and feel that we are privy to their secrets.  I found myself wishing I was sitting at the wooden table in the kitchen, sharing a meal with these interesting people.

I will miss your writing style and am so glad I had the priviledge of reading your stories.  I am blessed.
