Dr Clara Casey has been given the challenge of establishing a cardiac clinic in Dublin, and her determination will be needed far beyond the consulting room. With family difficulties demanding attention and an assortment of staff and patients bringing their own worries through the doors, Clara finds that caring for hearts involves more than medicine. As the clinic takes shape, lives that might never otherwise have met begin to overlap through friendship, work and the possibility of love. Maeve Binchy draws an affectionate portrait of people navigating disappointment, making difficult choices and discovering support in unexpected places. Warm and observant, this ensemble novel celebrates the small acts of kindness and courage that can help ordinary people begin again.
