Review by: Lynn T. book lover
This book was wonderful, heart-warming and cozy...I was so sad
when I finished it...knowing it was her last (Maeve Binchy died last
summer). Here is the description from Goodreads: Stoneybridge is a small
town on the west coast of Ireland where all the families know one
another. When Chicky Starr decides to take an old, decaying mansion set
high on the cliffs and turn it
into a restful place for a holiday by the sea, everyone thinks she is
crazy. Helped by Rigger and Orla, her niece, Chicky is finally ready
to welcome the first guests to Stone House. John, the American movie star; Winnie and Lillian are forced into
taking a holiday together; Nicola and Henry, husband and wife; Anders; Miss Nell Howe criticizes everything and leaves a day early; the Walls are disappointed to have won this
second-prize holiday in a contest where first prize was Paris; and
Freda, the librarian, is afraid of her own psychic visions.
