Maeve Binchy

Maeve Binchy

From Maeve Binchy's web site:

"It is with immense sadness that we announce the death of Maeve Binchy on 30 July, in Dublin. Her husband Gordon Snell and her sister Joan Ryan were at her side.
Maeve was a weaver of magic whose stories touched the hearts of millions. She died far too soon; she had many more stories to tell.

She will be sorely missed by her family, her friends, her publishers and her readers throughout the world."

You can find her web site HERE.
 
I started reading Maeve Binchy's books when we lived in Jamaica. She was an Irish author of 16 books and several collections of short stories. I enjoyed all of her books but I think my favorite is "Whitethorn Woods."

She said at one time that she loved writing her stories and was very lucky to live in a time of paper backs.

Check out her web site to read more about her, she enjoyed life! What a wonderful legacy she has left her family and fans.

I am going to spend August rereading the books of Maeve Binchy!
 

Pick up one of Maeve Binchy's books this month and celebrate her life!
