Quentins Maeve Binchy

Ok so this is my first Maeve Binchy novel. She's Irish. And the title is a Q word so I had a lot in common to start with. Oddly though, I didn't choose this. It got into my bag by mistake. Leprechauns perhaps. So here's what I think. I liked it a lot; there were a LOT of characters, and sometimes it was hard to keep them all straight, especially since they tended to take turns telling bits of the story, and just as you got really intrigued with one bit, another started. But it wasn't at all the bodice ripper I had thought it would be. Intriguing stories and characters, and lots of local color, or colour.
