Publisher's Summary

Firefly Summer is the story of four fateful years in the life of a small, sleepy Irish town, beginning in the summer of 1962, when American millionaire Patrick O'Neill comes to town. In particular, this is the story of the family who run the local pub. It tells interlocking stories of love lost and won, hopes raised and dashed, ambitions nurtured, and secrets betrayed.

What the Critics Say

"Totally engrossing....Unforgettable....An absolutely grand story....A lyrical and compelling family drama....Mountfern and its residents come vibrantly alive." (The Plain Dealer)
"The secrets hidden behind lace curtains, a young girl's first kiss, children's summer games, unexpected pregnancies, sudden deaths. She makes us feel as if we also know the place and the people....One of those good, old-fashioned stories that are as comfortable and comforting as home itself." (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

    "Inviting"

    Maeve Binchy pulled me right in from the opening paragraph. I couldn't help but feel that the characters were my own neighbours and friends. It was a delightful story and one which I would highly recommend.

    "Okay but not memorable"

    A good solid 'read' with well developed characters that transported me into a time of enormous change around the world. I did look forward to turning it on, but then when it was all done, I didn't regret that there was no more.

    Story
    "Annoying"

    I found the narrator's voice very annoying. Especially when she talks in the childs voice. I actually turned the story off as I couldn't understand half of what she was saying. Personally I felt this download was a waste of money and I should read the book instead.
