Maeve Binchy's much-loved 'Irish Times' writings spanned five decades.An accidental journalist whose work first appeared after her father sent in colourful accounts he had received from her travels,from the beginning her writings reflected the warmth,wit and keen human interest that readers would come to love in her fiction.
This timeless collection celebrates the work of the world's best-loved writer,in all its diversity,revealing her characteristic directness,laugh-out-loud humour and unswerving gaze into the true heart of a matter.From 'Life as a Waitress' to 'Encounters at the Airport', 'Maeve on Margaret Thatcher' and 'Staving Off the Senior Moments',Maeve always had her own,inimitable take on life.
With an introduction written by her
husband,the writer Gordon Snell,'Maeve's Times' reminds us of why the leading Irish writer was so universally cherished,and will be for generations to come.
