Book Synopsis

''Heart-felt stories of life and love'' Woman & Home from the No. 1 bestselling author

''Maeve Binchy''s work continues to inspire . . . thought-provoking, warm and funny in equal measure'' Woman

A pair of star-crossed travellers pick up each other''s bags, and then learn that when you unlock a stranger''s suitcase, you enter a stranger''s life. An unspoken office passion meets the acid test on a business trip. A man and a woman''s mutual disdain at first sight shows how deceptive appearances can be. And an insecure wife clings to the illusion of order, only to discover chaos at the hands of a house-sitter who opens the wrong doors.

These and many more poignant, often humorous, unforgettable slices of life show why Maeve Binchy is one of the world''s favourite storytellers.
