This was Binchy's debut novel and tells the story of a lifelong friendship between an English and Irish woman, forged during World War II when the English woman was sent to Ireland during the Blitz. ( ) I have enjoyed every book I have read from this author. This was her first book and it is amazing. The depth of the characters and the consistency throughout the story was outstanding. For many today it would be hard to fathom that back only 70 years the level of silence and the amount of unpleasantness women were expected to endure in a marriage, and be blamed for is horrific. The Irish have definitely struggled to exit the 17century in regards to the power the church held over all aspects of there life. Great book. La novela narra la historia de dos mujeres que se conocen siendo niñas en el marco de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Una es inglesa y la otra irlandesa. El desarrollo va mostrando las diferentes costumbres y creencias que ambas poseen, y, que a veces constituyen un nudo difÃcil de desatar, pero que siempre destaca el valor de la amistad. sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica

HTML:Beloved author Maeve Binchy's first published novel, an engrossing coming of age tale about the incredible bond of friendship. To escape the chaos of London during World War II, young Elizabeth White is sent to live a safer life in the small Irish town of Kilgarret. It is there, in the crowded, chaotic O’Connor household, that she meet Aisling—a girl who soon becomes her very best friend, sharing her pet kitten and secretly teaching her the intricacies of Catholicism. Aisling’s boldness brings Elizabeth out of her proper shell; later, her support carries Elizabeth through the painful end of her parents’ chilly marriage. In return, Elizabeth’s friendship helps Aisling endure her own unsatisfying marriage to a raging alcoholic. Through the years, they come to believe they can overcome any conflict, conquer any hardship—as long as they have each other. Now they’re about to find out if they're right... “A sumptuous saga.”—Harper’s “Wonderful…a novel that could be mistaken for life.”—New York Daily News.
