A Week in Winter by Maeve Binchy- The pleasantly peaceful and, unfortunately, final book by the late Binchy tells the story of Chicky Starr, a young Irish woman who opens an inn in the quiet hills of Stoney Bridge, Ireland. A variety of guests- some from Ireland, others from much farther away, visit Stone House and offer intriguing, engaging backstories that Binchy masterfully intertwines into a tapestry of friendships, family, conflicts, and camaraderie. Recommended by Prof. Judi Crowe.
