«Whitethorn Woods» is the contemporary novel by Maeve Binchy, published by Alfred A. Knopf in hardback (352 pages, in English).
When a new road threatens to bypass Rossmore and cut through Whitethorn Woods, the town is divided between progress and tradition. Young Father Flynn fears for St. Anne's Well, an ancestral shrine at the edge of the woods. The voices of the locals tell stories of faith, doubt, and decisions about the future.
The action takes place in Rossmore and Whitethorn Woods, in Ireland. It is the first American edition, published in March 2007.
For readers of contemporary Irish fiction and stories about life in small towns.
Anne Maeve Binchy Snell was an Irish novelist, playwright, short story writer, columnist, and speaker. Her novels were characterised by a sympathetic and often humorous portrayal of small-town life in Ireland, and surprise endings. Her novels, which were translated into 37 languages, sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. Her death at age 73, announced by Vincent Browne on Irish television late on 30 July 2012, was mourned as the death of one of Ireland's best-loved and most recognisable writers.
