THIS YEAR IT WILL BE DIFFERENT

AND OTHER STORIES

Filled with Maeve Binchy's trademark wit and true

storytelling genius, This Year It Will Be Different

powerfully evokes the lives of wives, husbands,

children, friends and lovers, all set during the one

holiday when feelings cannot easily be hidden

There are stepfamilies grappling with exes;

long-married couples faced with in law problems;

a wandering husband choosing between the other

woman and his wife; a child caught up in a grown-up

tug-of-war.

The festive season may be magical, but it can also

be a time of family difficulties, a time to reflect

on relationships; a time of change
