      With the warmth, humor, and compassion we have come to expect, Maeve Binchy tells a story of doctors and staff, patients, family, and friends at a heart clinic in a community caught between the old Ireland and the new. Dr. Clara Casey agrees to take on the seemingly thankless task of establishing a clinic with little funding--for a year. With her own plate full--two troublesome grown daughters and a needy ex-husband--she is still able to gather a wonderfully diverse and dedicated staff. And before long she has done the impossible, made the clinic a success and a aprt of the community. Now Clara must decide whether or not to stay.

      De Romeinse Claudia verlaat in de tweede eeuw na Christus haar geboortestad Rome om zich bij haar man te voegen, die garnizoenscommandant is in het koude noorden van Brittannië. Eind twintigste eeuw raakt Miranda in de ban van haar nieuwe thuis, het landgoed Ladycross, vlak bij de Romeinse muur in Northumberland. Als haar man sterft moet ze kiezen: het verleden respecteren of de toekomst omarmen. Roberta, sinds lang gescheiden na een desastreus huwelijk, koopt eindelijk een huis voor zichzelf, ver weg van alle banden met het verleden, althans dat denkt ze. Claudia, Miranda en Roberta: hun levensverhalen zijn verbonden door een prachtige plek, door de gebeurtenissen die hen naar die plek brachten en door de liefde die het tot hun thuis maakten.

Now Ella Brady wants to make a documentary about the renowned restaurant but, as she uncovers more of what has gone on, she questions the wisdom of bringing it to the screen.

      The nurse's voice on the phone is desperate, but young Dr. Peters, in his first weeks of internship, is only bone-tired and a little afraid. He has forgotten when he last slept. Yet he knows that in the coming hours he will have to make life-or-death decisions regarding patients, assist contemptuous surgeons in the operating room, deal with nurses who may know more than he does, cope with worried relatives and friends of the injured and ill, and pretend at all times to be what he has not yet become--a fully qualified doctor. This book is about what happens to a young intern as he goes through the year that promises to make him into a doctor, and threatens to destroy him as a human being--
