Title: True to life stories about the holidays
Product review: What a great collection of stories. I have never read any other Maeve Binchy books, but this one was recommended to me because, well, Christmas has not always been my fav. The stories are all around the idea that the build up does not equal the end result and that sometimes the holidays are just yucky. Some characters have experiences that are better than their usual, just not the picture perfect ideal. I thought they were well written with great characters and interesting situations. It wasn't depressing, just real. A few stories were actually inspirational to a person like me who knows that perfection does not happen just because you wish for it. Sometimes there is just movement towards better. Really, a nice collection.
