Maeve Binchy has a very particular style of writing, and although it is hugely praised- I however don't applaud her so greatly. This was a novel including many short, short stories. They were all Christmas based tales and although they emphasised all the variations of celebrating it, it just didn't enthuse me. It would have been a wiser idea to read this nearer that particular type of year. There was one story however, that I shall not forget in a hurry. It was based on these two sisters running and OAP home, and changing the attitudes of the elderly about christmas during the seasonal time. I did get bored of reading this book, and that is because I would recommend a 12-15 year old to read it.
