This  short story just wet my appetite for more stories by Maeve Binchy.  I got the wonderful opportunity 7 yrs ago to visit Ireland, the home of my paternal granny and her family, who lived in County Mayo, and who left Ireland to follow their dreams to NYC and try life in America.  My favorite area of Ireland was Connemara and also County Kerry and the Ring of Kerry.  The background of the west coast of Ireland and rough pounding of the surf against the cliffs reminded me so much of the Irish homeland's rugged beauty which I loved!  Maeve Binchy brought the characters to life so vividly that I thought I'd meet each one in person.  I am looking forward to reading more of her works!
