Heart and Soul

De: Maeve Binchy

Narrado por: Sile Bermingham

“[Maeve] Binchy makes you laugh, cry, and care. Her warmth and sympathy render the daily struggles of ordinary people heroic and turn storytelling into art.” –San Francisco Chronicle

With the insight, humor, and compassion we have come to expect from her, Maeve Binchy tells a story of family, friends, patients, and staff who are part of a heart clinic in a community caught between the old and the new Ireland.

Dr. Clara Casey has been offered the thankless job of establishing the underfunded clinic and agrees to take it on for a year. She has plenty on her plate already–two difficult adult daughters and the unwanted attentions of her ex-husband–but she assembles a wonderfully diverse staff devoted to helping their demanding, often difficult patients.

Before long the clinic is established as an essential part of the community, and Clara must decide whether or not to leave a place where lives are saved, courage is rewarded, and humor and optimism triumph over greed and self-pity. Heart and Soul is Maeve Binchy at her storytelling best.©2009 Maeve Binchy; (P)2009 Random House Audio

Excellent storytelling!!

Never wanted it to end. Love the characters and the interweaving of the stories. Plus great narration.

love Maeve Binchy but this falls a bit short.

this time the multiple threads she weaves so skillfully do not really hold together. still I love to read jer5

Love a Meave book

Love to hear about characters from all of her books, but the narrator was not my favourite. The Twins sounded like robots, very odd, they never sounded like that before. Also, too many new names, I had to keep going back to try to figure out who they all were.

Excellent Story

I can always count on Maeve Binchy to tell a heart warming story. I gave her 5 stars, but the narrator just 3 stars, hence the 4 star rating.

one of my favorites for this author

i was 50/50 about purchasing after reading the blurb about the story ... the book, however, is excellent and engagingly narrated.
