Editorial Review:
Get ready to paint the town green.
New York Times bestselling authors Maeve Binchy and Marian Keyes top an impressive roster of the Emerald Isle's most popular women writers as they celebrate the joys and perils of love and the adventure and constancy of female friendships.
In Maeve Binchy's "Carissima," an ex-pat returns to Ireland and shakes things up for her family, who finds her free spirit scandalous. In "Soulmates," by Marian Keyes, one woman's relationship is so bleedin' perfect that it's driving her friends crazy. In Cathy Kelly's "Thelma, Louise and the Lurve Gods," two women on a madcap Stateside road trip encounter a pair of insanely good-looking men....These fabulous stories and a baker's dozen more prove that when it comes to spinning a good yarn, the Irish are the best in the business.

I only enjoyed about 50% of the short stories in this book. But of those I did like, I really, really enjoyed them. I would just rather get an entire book from those authors that I liked than read a few short stories. Just as you get into the story, it's over. Although it was helpful in learning new authors.
Rating:  - Good stuff!
These are fun short stories that you can read before bedtime. Each author has a slightly different style and they really capture the Irish culture.

Although all the stories in this book were good, Maive Binchy is absolutely outstanding. Received in good condition.

Just finished reading today.
I loved it!! Well, some of the stories I liked, some were boring.
My favourite has to be, "The Unlovable Woman" by Annie Sparrow.
It's a short story about a woman who has just been stood up by whom she thought was Mr. Right. The next day at work a "fortune teller" of sorts tells her that love will come knocking on her door, and to be ready for it. I'm not going to ruin the story, but her true love has been right there in front of her for a long time, ... Read More
Rating: - Feel-Good Anthology
Maeve Binchy, Marian Keyes, and a host of other fabulous but unkown-to-this-reviewer Irish women authors pooled their talents to raise money for an Irish charity--and this fabulously wonderful book was the result.
Each short story is a gem unto itself, and absolutely nothing is boring, trite or blah. This is a perfect beach read, and makes me want to look up all the women of whom I knew nothing so that I can order each of their books!!!
This is a real treat for any fan of ... Read More
