Maeve Binchy Ireland Quotations

Everybody has always loved eating in Ireland and the family always gathered around the table - which was also where all the stories were told.

I also wanted to bring in the question of class-consciousness and inequality of position. The people of Ireland have no right to be class conscious.

I live in Ireland near the sea, only one mile from where I grew up - that's good, since I've known many of my neighbours for between 50-60 years. Gordon and I play chess every day, and we are both equally bad. We play chatty, over-talkative bad bridge with friends every week.
