London Transports Maeve Binchy

While I was in Mexico I borrowed two books from Father Dermot; this was one of them. He said he likes the way Maeve writes but she is "very middle-class." He is right-her characters are very well-drawn, and her plot lines are really interesting. This book is short-stories, and I really liked them. I still am worried about Father Dermot though, because the stories deal with lesbianism, abortion, shop-lifting .... hmmmmm
