About this product

Product Information

Stoneybridge is a small town on the west coast of Ireland where all the families know one another. When Chicky Starr decides to take an old, decaying mansion set high on the cliffs overlooking the windswept Atlantic Ocean and turn it into a restful place for a holiday by the sea, everyone thinks she is crazy. Helped by Rigger (a bad boy turned good who is handy around the house) and Orla, her niece (a whiz at business), Chicky is finally ready to welcome the first guests to Stone House's big warm kitchen, log fires, and understated elegant bedrooms. John, the American movie star, thinks he has arrived incognito; Winnie and Lillian are forced into taking a holiday together; Nicola and Henry, husband and wife, have been shaken by seeing too much death practicing medicine; Anders hates his father's business, but has a real talent for music; Miss Nell Howe, a retired schoolteacher, criticizes everything and leaves a day early, much to everyone's relief; the Walls are disappointed to have won this second-prize holiday in a contest where first prize was Paris; and Freda, the librarian, is afraid of her own psychic visions. Sharing a week with this unlikely cast of characters is pure joy, full of Maeve's trademark warmth and humor. Once again, she embraces us with her grand storytelling.

Reviews
"Fittingly, this posthumously published work by Ireland's beloved lady of letters is itself a love letter to her homeland. . . Binchy offers a final chance to enjoy her winning characters and the charm of Irish culture. . . Reading this novel is like ducking out of a cold rain into a fire-warmed pub filled with laughter." -- People "Lovely. . . Tailor-made for an afternoon jaunt through the backcountry of western Ireland. . . Binchy's last novel radiates the warmth and charm that fans of the late Irish author will recognize and relish. . . . [her] prose is conversational, comfortable and populated with a cast of colorful characters that run the gamut from droll to dry. . . a delightful diversion." --Mary Cadden, USA Today "A hopeful, loving novel chronicling lives shaped by good deeds, small favors, and honest counsel along the rocky crags of the Irish coast. Fans of Binchy and newcomers to her work alike should consider themselves fortunate to have been left such a clear-eyed and open-hearted final gift." -- The Daily Beast " A Week in Winter goes perfectly with a cup of tea. . . . a gratifying, blustery read full of rich characters, a sea-spray setting and a compelling plot that carries the reader from start to end. . . . Binchy has created a book that envelops its reader in the same calming serenity that Stone House provides its inhabitants." --Shelly Walston, The Wichita Eagle "A treat as rich as a box of chocolates." --aarp.org "The late great Binchy's last novel is an appropriately heartwarming and spirit restoring swan song. In classic Binchy-style, the gentle story is populated with a large cast of often eccentric, always endearing characters. . . Stone House, a country inn on the West Coast of Ireland serves as the cozy setting for these interrelated tales of love, loss, friendship, and community. . . . Pour yourself a cup of tea, put your feet up, and prepare to savor this bit of comfort food for the soul." -- Booklist "Classic Binchy. . . her fans will find solace as hearts mend and relationships sort themselves out one last time." -- Kirkus, "Lovely. . .

  • "Warm" characters and easily read book

    The only downside to this book is knowing it was the last complete book that Ms. Binchy will ever write. (Her husband had a compilation of her short stories published after her death.) I certainly miss her way of bringing each character to life so that you feel as if you know each one personally. Even though there are several characters who are connected with the B&B in this book, the concise detail of each life leads the reader to want to cheer each one to a happy conclusion. Thank you for the years of great reading, Ms. Binchy. Maybe it is time to for me to begin the journey through each of her books, again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book!

  • Satisfying Maeve Binchy story, will leave fans wanting more.

    A Maeve Binchy story and a cup of hot tea? Yes, please. Very enjoyable typical Maeve Binchy. This story is a collection of short stories woven together around the common thread of the evolution of west Ireland small,country estate becoming a B & B. It revolves around the new owner of the estate, the community, the people who help renovate the estate and bring it to the opening of the B & B and finally the first guests who arrive for a week in the winter. Each story will touch you in a way that the author does best.

  • Appropriate title for story line.

    This author always writes thought stimulating content.

  • Another wonderful work from Maeve Binchy. So sad it is her last.

    Another wonderful book by Maeve Binchy. I breaks my heart that she has left us. I have enjoyed reading her books for years, and alas this is her last. She will truly be missed.
