Maeve Binchy’s short story anthology, This Year It Will Be Different, is fantastic from the first sentence! A mystery fan who seldom reads general fiction, I was blown away by how immediately her other compilations sucked me in: The Lilac Bus, 1982 and Dublin 4, 1984. It’s clear why this lovely lady is Ireland’s pride and famous the world over.

Not the sweet syrupy typical Christmas stories, or stories where everyone is perfect and has no faults, these are more realistic, the characters have issues, they are not perfect, they don't always make the right decisions, they are normal, realistic people, and that's why I enjoyed many of the stories so much. There's a saying "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" and that is what most of the stories in this collection do. From the woman who realizes her relationship with a man is not going to go anywhere, to the wife/stepmother who unintentionally makes a stepdaughter feel welcome, to the woman in the feature story who at long last does make Christmas different. Although these are not stories that come to mind for reading to get me in the Christmas spirit, I do enjoy them, they are good, well written stories and I enjoy reading them every few years. I'm very glad they are available now in e-format.

If you like the simplicity and character development of Maeve Binchy's writing this audio collection of short stories with a Christmas theme is an uplifting "listen" for the holidays. Not too schmaltzy and ultimately heartwarming, this collection struck just the right tone when I wanted to listen to something Christmasy, get out of my head and away from national news, and get a taste for the simple good life in Ireland. I enjoy Maeve Binchy's work by listening more than reading - the characters come alive. This collection was the audio equivalent of warm cookies and tea on a blustery day - comforting, nurturing and pleasant.

Maeve Binchy is one of my all-time favorite authors. There is nothing of hers that I haven't liked and most of her work, I have loved. A while back, I was looking at everything she has written to see if I had missed something and came across this book. Since Christmas was coming up I bought it for my Kindle but waited until December to begin reading.

This is a collection of short stories (which I typically don't like as well as novels) but the author manages to write them so well. The characters are developed in each one and I was totally engrossed in each story quickly so I hardly noticed they weren't full-length stories. In typical Binchy style, the stories are a mixture of good and bad, personal hurt and growth. Unlike most books published geared around the holidays of fluffy stories with happy endings, there is "meat on those bones" with this collection. There are probably more heart-wrenching stories than uplifting ones, but after multiple novels of light and airy narratives, I was actually quite ready for some grittier story lines and this delivered. I think Maeve Binchy is probably one of the few authors that can get away with writing about bad stuff happening during the holidays and still have me loving it.

A wonderful collection of well-written stories. For those looking for the Normal Rockwell version of holiday stories, this definitely isn't for you. For people looking for the stories of things not always going well and families not always getting along (realistic but without being over-the-top), this might be just the ticket. I loved it and plan on re-reading it over the coming years.

I loved reading Maeve Binchy stories/novels except this one. Of all the short stories in this book, I can't remember one that was somewhat pleasant. She must have been going through some tough times when writings these is all I can say. I will still hold close to the many others that I have cherished.

Innadril

This collection of stories mostly relates to the characters' heartbreaks, in various forms of relationships(infidelity, nonsupportive spouses, unappreciative step-children or children, left at the altar...). On the one hand, it is a good holiday read, because if you are stressing over nonfat vs regular eggnog, or what stupid gift will Aunt Lil give you this year, you can't help stopping and thinking about these characters and their dismal situations. It may help to appreciate all of the good things and people in your life. On the other hand, if your taste runs to Hallmark holiday moments, you may find these depressing, with a little dark humor here and there. The stories are very short--perfect for reading when you anticipate interruptions!

Christmas can be sad, or mad, or bad. In case you were wondering. One story I liked was about two men who bond over Christmas in Ireland, in a setting that could be from A Week in Winter. They bond over Christmas as they recall, sadly, that they both miss their wives.
