“[Maeve] Binchy makes you laugh, cry, and care. Her warmth
and sympathy render the daily struggles of ordinary people
heroic and turn storytelling into art.” –San Francisco
Chronicle
With the insight, humor, and compassion we have come to
expect from her, Maeve Binchy tells a story of family,
friends, patients, and staff who are part of a heart clinic
in a community caught between the old and the new Ireland.
Dr. Clara Casey has been offered the thankless job of
establishing the underfunded clinic and agrees to take it
on for a year. She has plenty on her plate already–two
difficult adult daughters and the unwanted attentions of
her ex-husband–but she assembles a wonderfully diverse
staff devoted to helping their demanding, often difficult
patients.
Before long the clinic is established as an essential part
of the community, and Clara must decide whether or not to
leave a place where lives are saved, courage is rewarded,
and humor and optimism triumph over greed and self-pity.
Heart and Soul is Maeve Binchy at her storytelling best.
