content: Maeve Binchy never disappointed. I enjoyed the story of the characters who sought to achieve the dream of an education, the teacher who inspired and, of course, the clash of classes in the time it was written. (It probably still exists!) Ms. Binchy can make you laugh, cry, and care. You want them all to succeed. Not all do,but the reader will enjoy discovering which ones rise above class prejudice and the resentment and disappointment of those who do not.
