Very long winded ( )

Maeve Binchy breathes a warm, cozy aura into every word - the story of friends who grow up, attend college and stretch into the challenges of freedom, independence and real friendship. ( )

Long and boring. But I'm not much of a romance reader. ( )

I have loved Maeve Binchy since I discovered her during my first year of university. My dad gave me 'The Copper Beech' one Christmas and I felt cast under a spell from the first chapter. I remember going back for Winter Term and hitting exams, being totally exhausted and tired of studying so wandering down to Waterloo Town Square to a Coles bookshop. I wanted a distraction so thought I would see if Maeve had anything else to offer. I picked Circle of Friends off of the book shelf and it saw me through the next few weeks, as I promised myself a another chapter or a few more pages for every hour I could stick with studying. So my attachment to this book is largely emotional but it's also a great story. ( )

This book is brilliant and gripping. One of her best. Couldn't put it down. A must read.

Back Cover Blurb:
Benny and her best friend Eve have grown up in Knockglen, a small sleepy town. When they are old enough, their one thought is to get to Dublin, to university and freedom. But it is in Knockglen that Benny and Eve's new friends will find passion, tragedy and the independence they yearn for. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0440211263, Mass Market Paperback)

It began with Benny Hogan and Eve Malone, growing up, inseparable, in the village of Knockglen. Benny—the only child, yearning to break free from her adoring parents...Eve—the orphaned offspring of a convent handyman and a rebellious blueblood, abandoned by her mother's wealthy family to be raised by nuns. Eve and Benny—they knew the sins and secrets behind every villager's lace curtains...except their own.

It widened at Dublin, at the university where Benny and Eve met beautiful Nan Mahlon and Jack Foley, a doctor's handsome son. But heartbreak and betrayal would bring the worlds of Knockglen and Dublin into explosive collision. Long-hidden lies would emerge to test the meaning of love and the strength of ties held within the fragile gold bands of a...Circle Of Friends.
