About the Book

A silver wedding means a family gathering - difficult occasions at the best of times. But for the Doyles - Deirdre, Desmond and their children Anna, Helen and Brendan - it will be more difficult than most.For each of them is keeping up a front; each of them is nursing a secret wound, or smarting over a hidden betrayal. As the day draws nearer so the tension mounts, until finally the guests gather, at the silver wedding party itself...Review"A rousing good story.... Laughter and tears: it's what Binchy does best."-San Francisco ChronicleFrom the Inside FlapAs occasion to celebrate, when Desmond and  Deirdre Doyle must gather family and friends around them  in remembrance of the twenty-five years of  marriage they've shared. A moment of reckoning as an  uneasy couple is forced to face a hapless daughter  still struggling to become a nun... a son who prefers  the bleak family farm in Ireland to London... the  once best man, now Desmond's boss... Deirdre's  bridesmaid, now a successful career woman... and  their priest with his guilty secret. A time of  transformation for their eldest daughter, Anna. For only  Anna can confront their tarnished lives and find a  truth to draw them into a circle of love that  might nourish, protect, and finally heal them all.About the AuthorMaeve Binchy was born in Dublin, and went to school at the Holy Child Convent in Killiney. She took a history degree at UCD and taught in various girls' schools, writing travel articles in the long summer holidays. In 1969 she joined the Irish Times and for many years she was based in London writing humorous columns from all over the world. She is the author of five collections of short stories as well as twelve novels including Circle of Friends, The Copper Beech, Tara Road, Evening Class and The Glass Lake. Maeve Binchy is married to the writer Gordon Snell and they live in Dalkey, Dublin.Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.AnnaAnna knew that he was doing his best to be interested. She could read his face so well. This was the same look she saw on his face when older actors would come up and join them in the club and tell old tales about people long gone. Joe tried to be interested then, too, it was a welcoming, courteous, earnest look. Hoping that it passed as genuine interest, hoping that the conversation wouldn't last too long."I'm sorry, I'm going on a bit," she apologized. She pulled a funny face at him as she sat at the other end of the bed dressed only in one of his shirts, the Sunday papers and a breakfast tray between them.Joe smiled back, a real smile this time."No, it's nice that you're so worked up about it, it's good to care about families."He meant it, she knew, in his heart he thought it was a Good Thing to care about families, like rescuing kittens from trees and beautiful sunsets and big collie dogs. In principle Joe was in favor of caring about families. But he didn't care at all about his own. He wouldn't have known how many years his parents were married. He probably didn't know how long he had been married himself. Something like a silver anniversary would not trouble Joe Ashe.Anna looked at him with the familiar feeling of tenderness and fear. Tender and protective-he looked so lovely lying there against the big pillows, his fair hair falling over his face, his thin brown shoulders so relaxed and easy. Fearful in case she would lose him, in case he would move on gently, effortlessly, out of her life, as he had moved into it.Joe Ashe never fought with people, he told Anna with his big boyish smile, life was much too short for fights. And it was true.When he was passed over for a part, when he got a bad review, there was the shrug: "Well, so it could have been different but let's not make a production out of it."Like his marriage to Janet. It was over, so why go on pretending? He just packed a small bag and left.Anna feared that one day in this very roo

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
