Tara Road was an AMAZING book Maeve Binchy has captured the timeless struggles of modern mom and the selfishness of men and put it into an amazing book of hardship and change. This is one of the reasons one should never go reading a book expecting anything. Do you think they moved too fast? What is Ria's opinion on the situation?
As soon as I picked it up, part of me began regretting the decision. Possibly I’ve read too many of Binchy’s books. As I stood to leave he pushed a coverless, hardback book into my hands. She is real busy working all the time, taking care of her kids.

She has great kids and is happily married -or at least she thinks so- to hotshot estate agent, Danny Lynch. Betül. This is definitely a chick lit book about a woman who lives in Dublin, runs a Bed & Breakfast with her lazy husband. But I had heard of Binchy and, hey, "Tara Road" was in the one-for-one paperback exchange at my library's book sale, so I picked it up. Dear R.A., Oh, the quest for the right book club questions! I did not like the soap opera type of story.

Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. I was drawn, however, to Binchy's writing. Although she described herself as an overweight child, her parents' attitude gave her the confidence to accept herself for who she was.“I look placid, you see, that's why people think I'm fine. Also, she has really strong female characters, or ones who start out weak but find strength, usually through other great women characters, which is always somethinBinchy is one of my favorite authors and I think this is my favorite of her books.
I liked some of the themes presented in this book: abuse, friendship, commitment, love, children. Then I re-read some passages and decided that no I was not. I think the biggest thing for me is that I cannot believe this was once upon a time selected as book as the month by Oprah Winfrey. Absolutely nothing.
In retrospect, I thought that Tara Road would be about, I don’t know…strangers who keep meeting each other on the road and have a chat about their everyday life and maybe the story could expand to some sort of adventure/mystery thing, I don’t know. 10 starsI really enjoy reading books written by Maeve Binchy. As it turns out the book he gave me was this lovely novel.

Maeve was supposed to be funny. I did not like the soap opera type of story. A very good read! But the day comes when Danny suddenly drops a bomb onto Ria's happily-ever-after. Come to find out, her husband is having an affair with her best friend.The reason I like this book is very complicated, but you'll love it. By a chance phone call, Ria meets Marilyn, a woman from New England unable to come to terms with her only son's death and now separated from her husband. Except that I only found this book on my second to last day of Irish vacation. Can you parallel the restoration of the house to Ria and Danny's relationship?
