Minding Frankie by Maeve Binchy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I enjoy reading the books by Maeve Binchy because I admire the way she tells the stories of her characters. I heartily recommend her books to new readers, with the warning that many of her secondary characters seem superfluous to the current book, and that is because their stories have been more fully told in prior books. Sometimes these updates and transitions read as barely more than an outline or synopsis which can jar a reader out of the fictive dream of the current story. These updates are there to satisfy me and the rest of her fans that more has happened to the twins, Muttie and Lizzie, Clara and Frank and so on.
