Best-selling author Maeve Binchy has died aged 72 after a short illness, Irish broadcaster RTE has reported.
I read my first Maeve Binchy book, Light A Penny Candle, in high school (borrowed from the school library). The last one I read was one that Judy left at my place earlier this year. Her books were like visiting old family friends. I loved how characters from previous books would appear in new books, so you knew what they were up to.

I have only read a few of her books but I've love them all. A ebay friend was having a cleanout and sent all her MB's to me. Might have to make Tara Road my next read as it's in the box. 🙂
RIP Maeve.

One of my best sellers in the shop.
I've been playing Irish music today and sold lots of her titles to sad fans who will her great stories.
