I was bored and sent it back. It started out ok over the first few pages, but then started to drag when the girl got a "new" uncle. That's when I quit. Not 1,000% crazy on the audiobook reader.

Another wonderful book of short stories that looks into the varied lives of the residents of Chestnut Street. Like all Binchy's stories, some are happy, some are sad, and most end before everything is resolved. Most of these stories…

Ms Binchy describes Chestnut Street as "horseshoe shaped" what we up here call Crescent, I believe. I enjoyed her little tales of the collection of characters. Descriptions of their appearance, habits, weaknesses, strengths. Alas, no…

Unfortunately I didn't realize it was a collection of short stories. I kept waiting to see what happened to the characters, but they never returned. For me that was unsatisfactory.

A patron review from the Adult Summer Game: "This novel was compiled after Maeve Binchy's death. It was a collection of short stories all having a connection to Chestnut Street. An excellent read for the fans of Maeve Binchy."

I wanted to take my time with this seeing as it is Maeve's last ever book. Unfortunately, I couldn't put it down. It is written in her typical manner of short stories that are revolved around something impartical. In this case, a street…

This collection of short stories is about people who live and work on Chestnut Street. Characters from one story appear in another and another. Binchy is very good at showing us what's behind the facade a person presents to the world. …

These short stories were really good. Ms. Binchy made Chestnut Street and the characters that live there seem so real, and as usual there is always something to learn from her stories.

Lovely is the word. Maeve Binchey knows people, particularly Irish people.I don't like short stories but this compilation has more going for it with the link formed by the street, its location and the people who live there.It's a good…
