Having read two of Maeve Binchy’s other books, “Light a Penny Candle” and “The Copper Beech”, that I didn’t really enjoy I wasn’t going to be tempted when I saw “Tara Road” at my local newsagents. But I love reading and I was desperate for a good read and it was the best of a lousy selection, along with one other. (but more about that another time…) So, I “paid my money and took my choice”.
After dinner that night my husband hardly saw me for the next two evenings, I couldn’t put that book down, I was engrossed! In my opinion it is different to the other two of hers that I have read, I can’t put my finger on why, It just is.
It basically revolves around two main characters, Ria and Marilyn who live opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. It is about their loves, lives etc. One day they decided to swap homes for the Summer and as a result kinda swap lives to some extent. But this isn’t going to be a review of the book so I wont tell you any more than that. And I know what I am like, I would waffle on and on and end up spoiling it for you!
But if you want a great book to really lose yourself in, this is it. My copy has been read 4 times ( and went to America with a pal to read on her hols!) and that includes twice my me! Now a book has to be good for me to want to read it more than once. This is! Thank you for your time!
