A new road threatens Whitethorn Woods, the Irish forest where St. Anne's well is located. Rossmore residents have gone there for generations with dreams and fears; some see it as a place of spiritual power, others as superstition. A man with land on the route has personal reasons to save it, and a childless London woman asks the saint for help.
Novel originally published in 2006; this Orion paperback edition came out on June 27, 2007.
Readers of contemporary fiction and narrative set in Ireland who enjoy ensemble stories about tradition, faith and progress.
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.
