Irish writer and journalist Maeve Binchy (1940–2012) is well known not only in her homeland, but throughout the world. Peru Binchy, in addition to short stories, has written more than a dozen novels; her books have invariably become bestsellers and... have received prestigious international awards more than once. In the 1970s, Binchy published three collections of short stories, and quite successfully, but her real fame came with the release of her first novel, Light a Candle (1982). “Hawthorn Forest,” written in 2006, received the warmest reviews from readers and critics. On the outskirts of the Irish town of Rossmore grows the Hawthorn Forest, where St. Anne's Spring gushes. Some claim that this place has miraculous powers, others consider it a fetish around which ridiculous superstitions are planted. There are rumors that a highway will soon be built around the city, which means the forest will have to be uprooted and the source destroyed. But people from generation to generation came here to share their dreams and fears... Undoubtedly, the townspeople will only benefit from the construction of a new road, but won’t something immeasurably more valuable than modern comfort be lost? When you have to make a choice between good traditions and the promises of the future, passions in Rossmoor flare up in earnest... The book is being published in a new translation.
