Great, quick read

If you love Maeve Binchy, you will love this book. The bad thing is that it is very short (an evening or less). The good thing is that it's quintessential Binchy. Everything you've loved about any of her other books you will love about this one. Highly recommended!!!
she reinvents herself..

I kept this tidy little book in my purse for just those occasions when I'd have to wait somewhere. During a visit to the doctor, after becoming bored with the golfing and sports magazines, I remembered that I had this little treasure with me. Nan has worked hard, raising her 3 children alone with a husband who "loved lots of other ladies" until he left her. Now, with adult children who stop by, it seems, only when they need her and want to run her life, her daily world has dwindled to a humdrum existence. That is, until the house next door, empty for 2 years, starts to undergo renovation. Something new to look forward to each day, especially watching the handsome builder, who eventually comes to daily tea. I won't reveal all that ensues, but in the end, Nan becomes a "builder", too, and finds her voice.
MAEVE BINCHY NEVER DISAPPOINTS HER FANS

Delightful story of a older woman living alone with three grown adult children that basically ignore her, or use her, they don't see her as a person separate from their mother, and neither does she until she meets the builders that come to fix her neighbors house, than things change for the better. We could all learn from this story as a mother and a daughter.
