A circle of Friends by Maeve binchy is a warm and charming tale of friendship set in the Ireland of the late 1950s. Follow their lives as they move from childhood through to young adulthood.
Meet the likeable but awkward Benny, dutiful only child of her protective parents. Diminutive and loyal Eve. She is left in the care of the nuns after the tragic loss of her parents. And there is the beautiful but wilful Nan, determined to throw off the shame of her alcoholic father and powerless mother.
Can their friendship survive the complications that life throws up for them, or will the circle be forever broken?
