### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not the best collection, but proves diverting
  

*by Z***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2016*

I have been reading Maeve Binchy's novels since I was a college student nearly twenty-five years ago. My first Binchy novel was CIRCLE OF FRIENDS which my younger self easily identified with, and eventually I discovered her other novels such as the memorable ECHOES, the heartbreaking THE GLASS LAKE, FIREFLY SUMMER, SILVER WEDDING, COPPER BEECH, and so many more. I confess that I am partial to her earlier novels and collection of short stories like LONDON TRANSPORTS (I have read every single Binchy novel and short story collection). Her newer novels, such as WHITETHORN WOODS, MINDING FRANKIE, etc. are still highly readable, but lack the intricate plots and in-depth character development that were hallmarks of her earlier works.When I saw this short story collection, I purchased it, not so much because I was expecting something new, but more to get a sense of the old and familiar, warm and cozy feelings I have always experienced reading Ms. Binchy's books. This is a mixed collection: some stories are well-written with insight into the flaws and frailties of Binchy's characters, and those ah-ha moments that her writing is known for. However, there are also many stories that I felt were not reflective of Binchy's tremendous talent and wit and seemed like they were unfinished or incomplete - perhaps these were just stories she had kept in a portfolio someplace that were not intended for publication, they seem raw and unpolished and lack insight, seeming rather banal. Unlike her earlier works, there is no deep sense of setting (one of the things I have always enjoyed about Binchy's novels is how they were able to transport me to Ireland). Whatever the reason, I am not sorry that I read this, but would caution readers not to expect something spectacular. Think of it instead as a way to re-connect and remember Ms. Binchy, who will always remain a beloved and much missed Irish storyteller.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Each story is so magic, powerful, and easy to read.

There was so much to absorb in a four page story, I immediately reread it. Maeve Binchy’s style of writing gives you a book in each short story. For me, she is a mystic, seeing and sharing so succinctly👏🏼👏🏼🎨🎨👏🏼👏🏼

    Thank you, Mr. Snell!

A FEW OF THE GIRLS is a collection of Maeve Binchy’s short stories that span several decades of her writing career.  Categorized into six major topics from Friends and Enemies to Holidays, readers who know Binchy’s work could identify them as Binchy’s even if they didn’t see the author’s name.  The warm, big-hearted Irish storyteller with the subtle lessons to tell through the stories is absolutely there.  For the scope of a short story, each story’s characters are well-developed, and the plotline of each story moves well.  Point of view (first person or third person) varies from story to story, and Binchy knew the best point of view (first or third person) for each story.BUT – This is a collection of short stories, about eight to ten pages each.  Readers should not expect a novel, but anywhere from four to ten stories in each of the six categories.Binchy passed away several years ago, so I am always happy when her husband, Gordon Snell, finds more of her work.  This is absolutely no exception.
