"Maeve Binchy, "the grand story teller,"* returns with a cast of characters you will never forget when they all spend a winter week together on holiday at Stone House, a restful inn by the sea... Stoneyville is a small town on the coast of Ireland where all the families know each other. When Chicky decides to take an old decaying mansion, Stone House, and turn it into a restful place for a holiday by the sea, the town thinks she is crazy. She is helped by Rigger (a bad boy turned good who is handy around the place) and her niece Orla (a whiz at business). Finally the first week of paying guests arrive: John, the American movie star thinks he has arrived incognito; Winnie and Lillian, forced into taking a holiday together; Nuala and Henry, husband and wife , both doctors who have been shaken by seeing too much death; Anders, the Swedish boy, hates his father's business, but has a real talent for music; Miss Nell Howe, a retired school teacher, who criticizes everything and leaves a day early, much to everyone's relief; the Walls who have entered in 200 contests (and won everything from a microwave oven to velvet curtains, including the week at Stone House); and Freda , the psychic who is afraid of her own visions. You will laugh and cry as you spend the week with this odd group who share their secrets and might even have some of their dreams come true. "--… (altro)

A Week in Winter - Binchy
Audio performance by Rosalyn Landor
3.5 stars

This was classic Maeve Binchy. The series of linked short stories were full of mostly likable characters. The characters come together for the opening week of a Bed & Breakfast on the west coast of Ireland. There’s a pleasant cozy atmosphere despite a long list of differing traumas and life challenges that each character brings with them to the inn. It was easy listening and while I enjoyed it, I’m unlikely to retain many of the details. ( )

Maeve Binchy's final novel has been on my TBR for years. I wanted to start the year off by reading a book that has literally been gathering dust on my bookshelf.

Many, many years ago, I read other novels by Binchy, including [b:Circle of Friends|41977|Circle of Friends|Maeve Binchy|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1342486126l/41977._SY75_.jpg|3152550] and [b:Light a Penny Candle|41962|Light a Penny Candle|Maeve Binchy|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1320391955l/41962._SY75_.jpg|888796] and remember enjoying the stories. I found [b:A Week in Winter|15990489|A Week in Winter|Maeve Binchy|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1346827587l/15990489._SX50_.jpg|21746515] to be a pleasant reading experience, though I didn't care for the format of the chapters. The first part of the novel that focused on Chicky Starr and the set-up of the hotel was more interesting to me than the latter chapters which focused on individual guests who came to the hotel when it first opened.

Though I own a hardcover copy, I listened to part of the book on audio. I think I actually preferred the audio version, as it emphasized each character's personality, flaws and all.

Rating: 3 stars, rounded up to 3.5 stars. Not my favorite book by Binchy, but otherwise a decent, non-taxing, reading experience. I doubt I'll read the book again, so I'll probably donate my copy when I can find a place accepting donations. ( )
