A Week in Winter/Maeve Binchy/326 pages

Chicky Starr has moved back to her hometown of Stoneybridge, Ireland after living in New York for years. She's determined to make Stone House, the ancestral home of Miss Queen, the last remaining Sheedy sister, into a restful holiday by the sea. Miss Queen is thrilled to have her home restored to its glory days, and Chicky has definite plans to make it work. Stone House's first week in business attracts an interesting mix of people looking to escape their normal routines.

Maeve Binchy passed away shortly after finishing this book. It was a bittersweet read because she's one of my favorite writers, and it was hard knowing this was the last one. No one else could make Dublin and Ireland more enchanting. It was her typical charming story.
