<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> Originally published: London: Orion Books, 2015. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <i>A Few of the Girls </i>brings together, for the first time, thirty-six of Maeve's very best stories--some published in magazines, others written for friends as gifts, many for charity benefits, all of them filled with her trademark warmth, wisdom, and humor. Written over a period of decades, these stories show that while times change, people often remain the same: they fall in love, sometimes unsuitably; they experience heartbreak, compassion and redemption; they hold to hopes and dreams; and they have friendships--some that fall apart, and a few special ones that endure. A foreword by her husband, Gordon Snell, offers a privileged, intimate glimpse into the writing process behind her extraordinary work. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <p>"Marvelous. . . . Unfailingly wise." --<i>Minneapolis Star Tribune</i> <p/>"Brim[s] with Maeve's warmth and common sense. . . . The stories bring to life well-developed characters, often in the space of a few paragraphs." --<i>Irish Independent</i> <p/>"When it comes to capturing the caprices of the human heart, she's unbeatable. . . . There's no better antidote to a raw March evening than a dose of vintage Binchy." --<i>BookPage</i> <p/> "Featur[es] some of her best works . . . a fine tribute to a very fine author." --<i>Image</i> <p/>"These stories are full of warmth and humour . . . easy to read and an ideal present for any of her fans." --<i>Woman's Way<br></i> <p/></p> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> Maeve Binchy was born in County Dublin and educated at the Holy Child convent in Killiney and at University College, Dublin.
