Opis

A society hostess invites her husband's mistress to dinner. A country girl savours the delights of city life. A student faces the dilemma of unmarried pregnancy. A drink-ridden photographer tries to relaunch a shattered career.
Dublin 4 has all of Maeve Binchy's intimate grasp of human feelings, her marvellous ear for dialogue and her subtle sense of life's confusion. The stories bubble with fun and wit -- yet sometimes leave a taste of sadness.
