Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A new collection of stories previously unpublished in the United States by beloved and best-selling author Maeve Binchy
Maeve Binchy's best-selling novels not only tell wonderful stories, they also show that while times change, people often remain the same: they fall in love, sometimes unsuitably; they have hopes and dreams; they have deep, long-standing friendships, and others that fall apart. From her earliest writing to her most recent, Maeve's work has included wonderfully nostalgic pieces and also sharp, often witty writing that is insightful and topical. But at the heart of all Maeve's fiction are the people and their relationships with each other."A Few of the Girls"is a glorious collection of the very best of her writing, full of the warmth, charm, and humor that has always been essentially Maeve."
