My Limerick Lady - Paperback

by Mary J. Binchy (Author)

Mairéad has been persuaded, against her better judgement, to go with her sister Geraldine and her best friend Patricia, to a party at Margaret's house in Ballykeevan. Apparently Margaret's parties have been the highlight of the midlands social calendar for years. Mairéad is afraid the women will get up to their usual well-meaning, but extremely annoying, matchmaking shenanigans.She loves them dearly and knows they want her to be happy. She had dated a little after Nick left home but it wasn't easy with two young children. She has been on her own now for over twenty years and the idea of starting again seems scary. On the other hand, if she lives as long as her parents, she is destined to spend the next twenty years alone. She's not sure which is the scariest. David's long-term partner died a few years ago. He has been on his own since. He never actively dated but was introduced to a few single women by well-meaning friends, hoping that one of them might help to heal his broken heart. He had been so in love with Helen that he could never see himself with anyone else...until now.Mairéad is furious when she suspects that the matchmakers are at it again. Two men on the same day is a step too far.
