Local DescriptionAnother unforgettable novel from the bestselling author of LIGHT A PENNY CANDLE and CIRCLE OF FRIENDS. Desmond and Deirdre Doyle will have been married for twenty-five years in October. It falls to the Doyles' eldest daughter, Anna, to decide how best to commemorate her parents' Silver Wedding. No use asking her sister Helen, living in her London convent, or her brother Brendan, who has chosen another form of exile on a bleak farm in the West of Ireland.

Her other literary works include 1985's Echoes, 1990's Circle of Friends and 2008's Heart and Soul. Throughout her long career, Binchy authored 16 novels, some of which were international bestsellers, and most of which focused on women and Irish culture. Binchy died at a Dublin hospital on July 30, 2012, following a short illness. |
