«Victoria Line/Central Line» is Maeve Binchy's collection of short stories, published by Coronet Books in paperback (320 pages, in English).
Stories set in London revolving around anonymous subway passengers and the encounters that change their lives. Maeve Binchy portrays human relationships with humor and warmth: clandestine affairs, sentimental decisions, the search for a shared apartment, or the consequences of prying into others' lives.
The work was originally published as London Transports in 1978; the 1987 edition brings together Victoria Line and Central Line for the first time in a single volume.
Recommended for readers of contemporary fiction and short stories, especially those looking for tales of London life with female protagonists.
Anne Maeve Binchy Snell was an Irish novelist, playwright, short story writer, columnist, and speaker. Her novels were characterised by a sympathetic and often humorous portrayal of small-town life in Ireland, and surprise endings. Her novels, which were translated into 37 languages, sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. Her death at age 73, announced by Vincent Browne on Irish television late on 30 July 2012, was mourned as the death of one of Ireland's best-loved and most recognisable writers.
