As someone who fell off a chair trying to hear they what they were saying at the next table in a restaurant, I suppose I am obsessively interested in what some might consider the trivia of other people's lives. Maeve Binchy's much-loved Irish Times writings spanned five decades. An accidental journalist whose work first appeared after her father sent in colourful accounts he had received from her travels, from the beginning her writings reflected the warmth, laugh-out-loud humour and keen human interest that readers would come to love in her fiction. From Life as a Waitress to Staving Off the Senior Moments , Maeve's Times demonstrations her own, inimitable take on life. With an introduction written by her husband, the writer Gordon Snell, Maeve's Times reminds us of why the writings of Maeve Binchy are universally cherished, and will be for generations to come.

English wit and humor.

Ingle, Róisín.
