The town of Rossmore is a special place, full of character and charm. Nestled beside the Whitethorn Woods, the town has grown since the days when it was small and friendly and everyone knew everyone else. But it still has the woods, with the well dedicated to St Ann, where generations have come to pray or make wishes or just to look back at the pretty little town. Which is why there is going to be such a fuss about the plans for the new road, cutting through Whitethorn Woods.
The people of Rossmore are divided. No one is more concerned than the curate, Father Brian Flynn, who has no idea which faction to support. Surely Neddy Nolan’s family should take the compensation being offered for their land? But wasn’t Neddy’s mother given a cure at the well many years ago? And what about the childless London woman who came to Whitethorn Woods begging the saint for help, with unexpected consequences?

An unsurpassed grasp of what makes a good story
She is the Queen of Fiction and one of the funniest and best-loved storytellers in the world...once you read Maeve you are hooked for life
Make no mistake, there is magic at work
Maeve Binchy at her best
The words "Irish warmth" are repeatedly used in reference to a Binchy novel and I believe that this keynote of authorial warmth is one of the compelling aspects of her writing . . . Binchy is a consummate storyteller who involves the reader in the world she creates . . . Binchy is a Dickens: she writes about the dilemmas of human beings with a backdrop which describes the manners and morals of a society
Maeve Binchy is a master storyteller
Binchy is degrees better than most other novelists and her storytelling ability is second to none
Binchy makes you laugh, cry, and care. Her warmth and sympathy render the daily struggles of ordinary people heroic and turn storytelling into art
A touching, funny, optimistic book full of wonderful, well observed characters
Reading her books is like gossiping with old friends
