Just round the corner from St Jarlath's Crescent is Chestnut Street. Here, the lives of the residents are revealed in Maeve Binchy's wonderfully compelling tales: Bucket Maguire, the window cleaner, must do more than he bargained for to protect his son. Nessa Byrne, whose aunt comes to visit from America for six weeks every summer. Lilian, the generous girl with a big heart, and the fiancé not everyone approves of. And Melly, whose gossip about the neighbors leads to trouble.
