OUTSTANDING READING, April 18 2012
AS ALWAYS, MAEVE BINCHY IS THE BEST STORY-TELLER THERE IS. SO RELAXING, SUCH LOVELY THEMES IN HER STORIES. MUST BUY FOR ANYONE WHO WISHES TO GET OUT OF TODAY'S HECTIC PACE.

502 pages and I still want more, April 4 2003
I loved this story, and I wish I could keep on living with them on Tara Road. Ria is exceptionally sweet, her desire to please makes her a tad oblivious. The author doesn't have to spell it out, we're all suspicious of Rosemary. But because this is Ria's story, we remain unknowledgeable of any wrongdoing until Marilyn enters the scene. When Ria threatens Danny with a fork in Colm's restaurant, I was really hoping she'd go through with it. Poke his eye out, Ria!
All the characters are beautifully well-rounded, but there are quite a few of them. For some reason, I kept forgetting who Hilary was...! I went and bought this book, and hope to give it to my mother (though I know it'll take her eons to finish). So I'm here now to encourage you to read it right now, and share the story with me!

I loved this book, Jan 21 2005
The characters are so rich and life like. I couldn't get enough, even though I was sleep deprived from staying up late to read!
