About this listen

Read by star of Derry Girls, Holding, and Redemption, Siobhan McSweeney.

Maeve Binchy at her very best - the superb novel of one summer, and four people whose lives are irrevocably changed.

Four strangers, with nothing in common but a need to escape, meet in a Greek taverna high above the small village of Aghia Anna. From Ireland, America, Germany and England they have each left behind their homes and their old lives, when a shocking tragedy throws them unexpectedly together.

Nights of Rain and Stars is the story of one summer and four people, each with a life in turmoil - and Vonni, the Irish exile who would very much like to help them, but has demons of her own to battle....

Critic reviews

"The perfect summer read." (Mail on Sunday)

"The landscape is evocatively Greek, the characters so real you feel you know them. Warm, thoughtful, vintage Maeve Binchy." (Choice Magazine)

To me, the narrator has an Irish accent that she slows downs in her speech and try’s to speak with an English accent and then other accents for other various characters which spoils it for me as they aren’t in the correct accent. It’s a shame as I love the author and storyline. If she spoke in the Irish accent I’d have preferred it.

Narrator spoilt a great story

Lovely read as usual by Maeve Binchy. I love the way all her books roll into one, you feel you already know the characters. Beautifully written in her own wonderful style.

Another review criticized the reader - wrong! The reader is excellent, clear and not too fast, perfect for driving along in the car :-)
The story is as magic as ever, especially if you have ever been on a Greek island for any length of time. Lovely flow of characters and relationships.

The Narrator's Great!
