About this listen

Just round the corner from St Jarlath's Crescent (featured in Minding Frankie) is Chestnut Street. Here, the lives of the residents are revealed in Maeve Binchy's wonderfully compelling tales: Bucket Maguire, the window cleaner, who must do more than he bargained for to protect his son. Nessa Byrne, who's aunt comes to visit from America for six weeks every summer and turns the house - and Nessa's world - upside down.

Lilian, the generous girl with a big heart, and the fiancé not everyone approves of. And Melly, whose gossip about the neighbours leads to trouble in the form of a fortune teller, 'Madame Magic'...

No one rivals Maeve Binchy for stories of warmth, kindness, love, loss - and life not always turning out as expected.

Great writing from Maeve Binchy as usual and beautifully read by her daughter, Kate. I just wish there were more people living in Chestnut Street.

Fascinating Chestnut Street.

I enjoyed the nature of many of the characters. The relationships that were formed and how they dealt with the ups and downs of life was really lovely . I felt I I wanted to know more about their lives.
