Comment On Containing Books Circle of Friends

Irish comfort food! Re-read this for Book Club after many years. Forgot how much I enjoyed it and how wonderful a writer Binchy was. I love characters that are so real you empathize with them through all their ups and downs. Very different from the movie, but that was also very enjoyable as I recall. A lengthy book, but a fast read and even minor characters are fully developed and memorable. Perfect read on a dreary day ( and we have had far too many of those this winter!) with a nice cup of hot

This book is the ultimate comfort read for me. A heart-warming, emotionally gratifying & rewarding experience. The one where, after finishing, you just sit & stare out of your head happy & content that again the world has been put to rights. "Circle of Friends" is to me what "The Baronetage" is to Sir Walter Elliot in Persuasion. :)"...there he found occupation for an idle hour, and consolation in a distressed one; there his faculties were aroused into admiration and respect, ...

I confess to loving what we at the bookstore used to consider "old lady novels." You know, written by nice old ladies, and featuring stock characters such as "Comfortable old lady who smells like violets," "Troubled young boy who will probably run away, thus becoming the catalyst to resolve the troubles of his father, who is..." "Bitter middle aged widower who just needs a little lovin'," and "Beautiful woman who provides said lovin'."Well, I've moved on from Rosamunde Pilcher, though The Shell

Do you have a favourite pair of old jeans? Worn to death, washed to that perfect comfortable feel, not the latest edgy trendy cut and colour but still a firm favourite. They are a perfect fit and make you feel good. Ones you pull out and wear time after time? Circle of Friends is the book equivalent of those jeans for me. Around forever, radiating warmth, full of humour and with a gossipy, uplifting plot. Yes, its another of my comfort books.Big hearted, generous Benny is the main character.

My friend Elizabeth bought this book for me, saying that Binchys writing is peaceful, relaxing and enjoyable to read. It is that. But I also had to stay up reading it till three A.M. in desperate suspense.It wasnt due to relentless pacing or swift-moving prose. Binchys writing career apparently began before the modern outcry against things like the passive verb and the third person omniscient voice. Her brief sentences and snappy dialogue generally kept the scenes from dragging, though, and I

So many times I worried that the author might make a decision that would disappoint me or frustrate me. So many times I worried she would forgive when she should avenge, too harsh or too lenient, too sentimental or refusing to see the heart and soul of this story. I'd never read Binchy before, and I'd no way of knowing if I could trust her with so emotionally charged a story. But I could. She was well in control of the whole thing, or rather, the characters were, so that by the end it was all

The best part about this book was the characters and how well they are portrayed. Everyone had thier own distinct personality and thier personality shown through as if Binchy were writing about people she's known her whole life.I personally found the storyline a little slow for my liking, and it took me a long time to get through this book. However, it was well written and I enjoyed it. The character of Nan fascinated me the most. I've known girls like her, so poise and perfect in every way...
