Narrative Concering Books The Copper Beech
In the Irish town of Schancarrig, the young people carve their initials--and those of their loves-into the copper beech tree in front of the schoolhouse. But not even Father Gunn, the parish priest, who knows most of what goes on behind Shancarrig's closed doors, or Dr. Jims, the village doctor, who knows all the rest, realizes that not everything in the placid village is what it seems.From the Hardcover edition.

I have read a few of Maeve Binchy's books and this one is the best so far. It centres around a small community and a school with a beech tree. Like many of her books it is not really a story as such, but more a collection of tales told from the perspective of different characters and all the tales intertwine. Each story brings an extra part to the tale so you get a more complete picture of what is happening in the town.There is something very special about Maeve Binchys writing. The first time I read one of her books it was 1990. In the 27 years since then she has continued to produce books that are in-depth explorations into peoples hearts and minds. She does not do this ruthlessly or clinically, like a surgeon making a deep cut. She does so with delicacy, sensitivity, and a garden of compassion.Are her books all rainbows and unicorns? Not by any stretch of the imagination. The endings are always positive and
I had a Maeve Binchy phase, oh, about 20 years ago. She wrote these cosy books about an old fashioned Ireland, where people were quirky, knew everything about everyone, and were never nasty to each other. Bad things happened to good people, but they got past it. I outgrew Maeve, but from time to time I pick one up, for a pleasant re=read.The Copper Beech is one of her ensemble cast stories. She takes a central theme and weaves the individual stories around the centrepost. It's a bit like reading
Pure comfort read. Full of Irish charm, I discovered Maeve Bincy at 13 and loved her
This is my favorite Maeve Binchy book that I've read to date. I've yet to find another person who feels the same way, so perhaps I'm the odd woman out, but I don't mind. I simply got immersed in the story and found it easy to relate to the characters especially Chris. I loved the idea that everyone thought what they knew what was going in the other characters lives, but it wasn't until you got to their respective chapters that you learned the truth....
Good study of a small town.
Not bad but I didn't enjoy it as much as I did with the other ones I have read from this author.
