Maeve Binchy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maeve Binchy (born May 28, 1940, Dalkey, Ireland) is an Irish novelist, newspaper columnist and speaker. She was a journalist at The Irish Times before becoming a full-time writer.
Many of her novels are set in Ireland, dealing with the tensions between urban and rural life, the contrasts between England and Ireland, and the dramatic changes in Ireland between World War II and the present day.
Binchy has announced that she will not be writing any more novels, but will be devoting her time to other activities, and to her English-born husband, Gordon Snell.
