Book Reviews of Circle of Friends
Book Review: A delightful novel.
Summary: 5 Stars
Since other reviewers go into detail about the plots and subplots, I'll simply say I am not a Binchy fan and didn't expect to enjoy this book.
Was I surprised. The story's setting switches between provincial Knockglen and modern Dublin, with a large cast of characters that are introduced so wonderfully you never have difficulty understand who's who, or what's happening to whom.
And the characters! Binchy somehow manages to keep the plot quite tense with lots of intrigues and sometimes heartache so that you're constantly wanted to turn the page to learn what happens, and yet she keeps the mood uplifting and never resorts to maudlin resolutions, OR the grim nastiness found in so many novels today. The characters are very real and...human. Often funny, and always interesting.
This novel is all about friendship, loyality, and love. And the ending may not turn out the way you wish- but it's a very good, satisfying ending.
