Review

"The title of Irish writer Maeve Binchy's 15th novel, HEART AND SOUL, couldn't be more apt. If Binchy were any more heartwarming, you'd need ice packs. She's like a hot flash for the soul."

"Binchy is adept at juggling multiple story lines and creating genuine drama out of the quotidian problems of life: illness, accidents, misunderstandings, romantic and sexual betrayal."

Publisher's note

With the warmth, humor, and compassion we have come to expect from her, Maeve Binchy tells a story of family, friends, patients, and staff who are part of a heart clinic in a community caught between the old and the new Ireland.
Dr. Clara Casey has been offered the thankless job of establishing the underfunded clinic and agrees to take it on for a year. She has plenty on her plate already--two difficult adult daughters and the unwanted attentions of her exhusband--but she assembles a wonderfully diverse staff devoted to helping their demanding, often difficult patients: the infectiously cheerful nurse; the indispensable office manager who can't quite manage her own life; the Polish girl who's come to Ireland to put a bad love affair firmly in her past and the booming Irish economy in her future; the young doctor who has a special touch with his patients; the physical therapist who undertakes a very different kind of therapy involving a local priest and a stalker.
Before long they manage to establish the clinic as an essential part of the community and Clara must decide whether or not to leave a place where lives are saved, courage is rewarded, and humor and optimism triumph over greed and self-pity.
"Heart and Soul "is Maeve Binchy at her heartwarming storytelling best.

Given the difficult task of building an underfunded clinic in an Irish community caught between the past and present, Dr. Clara Casey finds her task complicated by two difficult adult daughters, the unwanted attentions of her ex-husband, her colorful and diverse staff, and the demanding, often difficult patients they serve. 350,000 first printing.

Annotation

An Irish heart clinic is the setting for Binchy's latest feel-good novel, which is packed with richly-drawn secondary characters who bring the action and emotion to life. Dr. Clara Casey has been charged with getting the clinic on its feet, despite a lack of significant funding, and she fills the hospital's halls with an assortment of exuberant, dedicated employees who gradually infect the grumpy patients with their infectious cheer. Soon, Dr. Casey must consider whether to extend her temporary stay, now that she and the clinic have become an integral part of the community.
