Yes he's a musician and yes he's out of control but he kept talking about how he wanted his wife back without really showing that he wanted her back. He treated her like garbage and it was a hard read to see her falling for his wiles. The real romance that I wanted to see more of was between Tom and Lina. They married in haste and then they fell out. He insulted her and when she moved out he installed a singer as his mistress in their house. Now she wants a child and he admits he wants one too to secure his inheritance. It's a mess and the relationship didn't feel quiite enough for me. I wanted to like it but I felt like the relationship wasn't enough for the main story. I almost gave this a So-So but that’s probably just because I am not really a fan of short stories. These were interesting and a few of them left me wondering what happened next so that’s a good sign. I did like the way all the stories revolved around the one street. Maeve Binchy was a remarkable story teller. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"While she was writing columns for The Irish Times and her best-selling novels, Maeve Binchy also had in mind to write a book that revolved around one street with many characters coming and going. Every once in a while, she would write about one these people. She would then put it in a drawer. "For the future," she would say. The future is now. Just around the corner from St. Jarlath's Crescent (which readers will recognize from Minding Frankie) is Chestnut Street, where neighbors come and go. Behind their closed doors we encounter very different people with different life circumstances, occupations, and sensibilities. Written with the humor and understanding that are earmarks of Maeve Binchy's work, it is a pleasure to be part of this world with all of its joys and sorrows, to get to know the good and the bad, and ultimately to have our hearts warmed by her storytelling"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
