«Whitethorn Woods» is the novel by Maeve Binchy, published by Orion in hardback (336 pages, in English).
In the Irish village of Rossmore, the project of a motorway that would cross Whitethorn Woods and put St. Anne's well at risk divides the residents: some see progress and employment; others fear the village will become isolated. The decision ends up falling, almost by chance, on Neddy Nolan, the most honest man in the village.
First edition, published on 23 August 2006; contemporary fiction set in Ireland.
For readers of contemporary fiction and family sagas who enjoy warm stories about rural Ireland and its people.
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.
