CHESTNUT STREET
Book ID/图书代码： 03035014B68612
English Summary/英文概要： Just round the corner from St Jarlath’s Crescent (featured in MINDING FRANKIE) is Chestnut Street. Here, the lives of the residents are revealed in Maeve Binchy’s wonderfully compelling tales:
Bucket Maguire, the window cleaner, who must do more than he bargained for to protect his son. Nessa Byrne, whose aunt comes to visit from America for six weeks every summer and turns the house - and Nessa’s world - upside down. Lilian, the generous girl with a big heart, and the fiancé not everyone approves of. And Melly, whose gossip about the neighbours leads to trouble in the form of the fortune teller, ’Madame Magic’...
No one rivals Maeve Binchy for stories of warmth, kindness, love, loss - and life not always turning out as expected.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 就在圣•贾拉斯街角处（‘小心弗兰克’中出现过的）的栗树街。住着梅芙•宾奇笔下那曼妙绝伦骨故事中的主角人物：
布克特•马奎尔，橱窗清洁员，为了能让自己的儿子过上更好的日子必须付出更多的努力。妮莎•伯恩，每年夏季会从美国前来探亲六周的阿姨，总会让妮莎的房子和世界来那么次翻天覆地的变化。莉莲，一位大方且心胸开朗的女孩，和不被大伙看好的未婚夫。梅利，一位总是和邻里闲聊而招致麻烦的所谓算命先生，‘魔幻夫人’…
没有人能比梅芙•宾奇更好地诠释出温馨、善良、爱情和失落的情感世界 – 以及生活中总不能处处随人愿的意境了。(Sandy)
