• 'Nights of Rain and Stars' by Maeve Binchy

  Night of Rain and Stars is not strictly typical Binchy fare, mainly because it's set in Greece (not Ireland) in current times (not the 1950s or 60s). But it still has heart-warming characters, each of whom is struggling with personal issues. First, t ... (read full critics)
