Chestnut Street

Description

By Maeve Binchy

For years, while she was writing her columns for The Irish Times and her novels, Maeve Binchy also wrote occasional stories about the people of a single Dublin street, put them in a drawer, and said they were for the future.

This is that book. Chestnut Street is around the corner from St Jarlath’s Crescent, and behind its closed doors live neighbours with very different lives, occupations and secrets. Published after Binchy’s death, and written with the humour and understanding that mark all her work.
