Hi Carole,

If you enjoy Maeve Binchy's books, you might also like to read Rosamund Pilcher - she has a whole series of novels that are really heart warming. "September" and "Shell Seekers" were probably my favourites. Her son Robin, has also written some novels along the same genre.

Recently I have read the 6-book Wilderness series by Sara Donati and just loved it!! Her first book is called "Into the Wilderness" and the series goes on for 5 more books, each one excellent. I would recommend starting at the beginning and reading each book in sequence. It is a historical novel about a young English woman who came to America in the mid-1700's and her life as it evolved - the characters are all memorable; it is so easy to get immersed in this saga - very well written.

Enjoy!
