And while she does incorporate a lot of humor, I think she deals with some timely and serious questions about the issue of adoption.Dee Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05075414876444998775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229818391094949327.post-72950952962695737262013-10-09T15:20:26.148-07:002013-10-09T15:20:26.148-07:00I read a couple of Binchy books years ago and, whi...I read a couple of Binchy books years ago and, while I liked the writing style (as well as an interview she did with Writing Digest), wasn't crazy about the books because they were too slice-of-life for me.

I did google her to find out more about her, but didn't realize she had passed away. I guess my source hadn't been updated. Thankfully, she left a legacy of good reading for me to catch up on. Any specific one you'd recommend next?Dee Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05075414876444998775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229818391094949327.post-81134966603955100062013-10-09T05:44:20.941-07:002013-10-09T05:44:20.941-07:00I am a HUGE Maeve Binchy fan and turn to her relia...I am a HUGE Maeve Binchy fan and turn to her reliable writing for a comfort read. She passed away last year and so we won't have any more installments of her wonderful characters, but her books are always good for a second and third reading.
