«Whitethorn Woods» is the novel by Maeve Binchy, published by Random House in paperback (421 pages, in English).
In the town of Rossmore, the proposal to build a road divides the residents: the route would cut through Whitethorn Woods and destroy the well dedicated to Saint Anne, which many visit to pray. Father Brian Flynn listens to both sides: some defend the spiritual value of the well; others see it as superstition.
The novel was originally published in 2006; this paperback edition appeared in 2007.
For readers of contemporary Irish fiction interested in stories of community and tradition.
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.
