You know, I like Maeve Binchy. She just does what she does so well - nothing fancy, nothing earthshaking, probably will never win a Pulitzer. But if what you want is a good book with engaging characters that will make you feel happy when you are done, Binchy is your girl. This particular effort finds a local priest struggling with the misplaced faith of his congregation - they insist on believing a local well can work miracles. His own sister even seems to believe! And when a proposition to build a highway through the area creates conflict, it's the townsfolk who figure out a way to save the well. Just makes you feel warm and fuzzy all over.

Boo for spambots! Yay for real commenters! Too many of the former is making me crack down, but if you are one of the latter, I'd love to know what you have to say!
