This book was a bit of a surprise. I expected it to be one whole story. Having read what I thought was chapter one, suddenly chapter two had no relevance to it whatsoever!
This is in fact a collection of 22 short stories. They are predominately centred around travel in one form or another - actually travelling, planning to travel, or even planning not to.
There are many different characters which appear in the stories, some of which are very caring and generous people, and others who are very selfish. The interaction between them is quite interesting and also differs from story to story.
My favourite stories were probably 'Miss Vogel's Vacation', 'The House Sitter', 'A Villa for Four' and 'A Holiday with Your Father'. I was able to read a whole story, or more, in one go as none of them are too long.
I have read a few other Maeve Binchy books, but these were many years ago. I do remember that I have read at least 'Evening Class', 'Circle of Friends' and 'Silver Wedding'.
