A Week in Winter by Maeve Binchy (2012)

This was a reread. I go to a branch library almost every Monday to help a refugee girl with her homework, and since I just renewed my public library card, I realized I could start checking out books. I remembered I liked Binchy and this just jumped out at me, though it looked familiar. Sure enough, I read it only five years ago - http://mairasbooks.blogspot.com/2013/07/ (Thus the need for this blog.) I enjoyed it anyway, seems like I am reading a lot set on the British Isles.

I won't repeat the story, it is in the previous post, but I did not remember that Chicky Starr actually spent time in the U.S. and earned enough money to do something with the Stone House when given the chance. I enjoyed the Swedish accountant more this time - who was expected to take over his father's accounting firm, but it took coming to Ireland to realize that really is not what he wants to do. Definitely time for more - life is not easy, but when working together and following you heart, it can be good - Binchy books.
