Maeve Binchy the well-known Irish writer has died at 72 (30 July 2012) Most of her works were set in Ireland. A prolific writer of novels and short stories, her work has been translated into 37 languages.

I have not read any of her books though a friend had given me Circle of Friends many years ago. I would like to read Tara Road.
