Book description
A society hostess entertains her husband's mistress to dinner; a
country girl savours the delights of city life; a student faces the
dilemma of unmarried pregnancy; and a drink-ridden photographer tries
to relaunch a shattered career...
This vintage collection of stories from the bestselling author of
Light a Penny Candle and Circle of Friends is Maeve
Binchy at her best - her trademark warmth, wit and compassion are unmistakeable.
