About Maeve Binchy
Irish novelist, playwright, short story writer, columnist, and speaker
Maeve Binchy was an Irish novelist, playwright, short story writer, columnist, and speaker. Born Anne Maeve Binchy Snell, she wrote in the late 20th and early 21st centuries and became known for fiction rooted in Irish life.

Her death at 73 in 2012 was widely mourned in Ireland, where she was regarded as a much loved and easily recognised writer.
