Publisher's Summary

Stories about ordinary people going about ordinary lives will always be fascinating when told by a writer blessed with extraordinary talent, insight, and compassion.

This Year It Will Be Different brings us the magic and spirit of Christmas in 15 stories filled with Maeve Binchy's trademark wit, charm, and sheer storytelling genius. Instead of nostalgia, Binchy evokes contemporary life; instead of Christmas homilies, she offers truth; and instead of sugarplums, she brings us the nourishment of holidays that precipitate change, growth, and new beginnings.

The stories in This Year It Will Be Different powerfully evoke many lives during the one holiday of the year when feelings cannot be easily hidden: step-families grappling with exes; long-married couples faced with in-law problems; a wandering husband choosing between "the other woman" and his wife; a child caught in the grown-up tug-of-war. The time of year may be magical, imbued with personal meaning, but the situations are universal, and Maeve Binchy makes us care about them all.

    "this year it will be different"

    Once again a really enjoyable read from maeve binchey. I like the fact that this is a series of short stories which meant that I could listen for short periods of time. Maeve manages to get humour into the real feelings that real people have about Christmas. I laughed out loud at times at the ludicrous ways we behave at this time of year. Really enjoyable book.
