Light a penny candle

Evacuated from Blitz-battered London, shy and refined Elizabeth White is sent to stay with the boisterous O'Connors in Ireland. This is the beginning of an unshakeable bond between Elizabeth and Aisling O'Connor, a friendship which will endure through twenty turbulent years of change and chaos, joy and sorrow, soaring dreams and searing betrayals... Writing with warmth, wit and great compassion, Maeve Binchy's debut novel tells a magnificent story of the lives and loves of two women, bound together in a friendship stronger than any other - until a certain man threatens to come between them forever.
