A great short story collection

I am an avid reader of Binchy, and having read most of her latest work, I wanted to check out the earlier stuff. It was well worth it! Anyone looking to read everything they can by Binchy will delighted by these tales of London, each named for a different stop on the train line. Each tale takes a glimpse of everyday life from an affair to a new apartment. A must read for Binchy lovers!

This book offers up a wonderful cross section of society and engaging characters...

Excellent, but published in America under another name.
