About this listen
Just round the corner from St Jarlath's Crescent (featured in Minding Frankie) is Chestnut Street. Here, the lives of the residents are revealed in Maeve Binchy's wonderfully compelling tales: Bucket Maguire, the window cleaner, who must do more than he bargained for to protect his son. Nessa Byrne, who's aunt comes to visit from America for six weeks every summer and turns the house - and Nessa's world - upside down.
Lilian, the generous girl with a big heart, and the fiancé not everyone approves of. And Melly, whose gossip about the neighbours leads to trouble in the form of a fortune teller, 'Madame Magic'...
No one rivals Maeve Binchy for stories of warmth, kindness, love, loss - and life not always turning out as expected.

Much of my MP3 listening is done when I have insomnia. The almost short story format was thus excellent. Some characters were interwoven throughout different chapters but a clear memory of every personality was not essential to the overall enjoyment of each story.What did you like best about this story?
The dilemmas and challenges and minutiae of daily life were always satisfactorily resolved. This is in contrast to her earlier Victoria Line, Central line where the protagonists seemed to rarely wise up.Satisfactory solutions
