Product Description
Clara Casey, senior cardiologist and mother of two, already has a new job to cope with - and now her ex-husband wants something from her too...For Ania, meeting Clara Casey is a miracle. She never intended to leave Poland, but hopes a new job in a new country will mend her broken heart. Declan is looking forward to joining the clinic - but what should have been a straightforward six-month posting turns into much more. Then there's Father Brian Flynn, who finds his doubts about his calling are assuaged in his new parish - until an acquaintance threatens his reputation. Full of her trademark warmth, humour and compassion, "Heart and Soul" confirms Maeve Binchy's reputation as the world's greatest storyteller.

Back in the game,
By Canuck (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heart and Soul (Paperback)
Maeve Binchy has written some duds recently, especially Nights of Rain & Stars, but so far (I'm about 25% of the way through), Heart and Soul is as good as anything she's written, if not one of her best. Some characters appear from previous novels, such as Evening Class and Quentins, but you don't have to have read those novels to follow the story.

Heart and Soul,
By Sandi Norman (Dartmouth, Nova Scotia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heart and Soul (Paperback)
If you like Maeve Binchy books, this is another enjoyable story about the people who put together and run a new heart clinic. The characters are warm and friendly and the story is sprinkled with appearances of many of our other favourite Maeve Binchey characters. These are all people that I could imagine knowing and wanting to know. It's also nice to find out how they have all fared over the years. If you want a comfortable leisurely read this is well worth the effort.

Classic Maeve Binchy,
By
This review is from: Heart and Soul (Paperback)
I can always count on Maeve Binchy for an enjoyable read! Heart and Soul tells the stories of a collection of interesting people who work in a Heart Clinic. There are some familiar characters from Scarlet Feather and Quintin's, but one needs not to have read either of these previous books for Heart and Soul to make sense. Binchy's characters are real and the storyline that is interwoven among them is, as always, brilliant. This was a wonderfully easy and entertaining read to close out 2008.
