Well, what to say about this book: for once the movie is better.
The main character is Benny Hogan, a big "well boned" girl. She grows up in
a little village in Ireland (Knockglen), but wants to go to university in Dublin
and break free from her religious and adoring parents together with her best
friend Eve Malone. She goes to university, but has to come home every day after college.
She obeys until she meets Jack Foley and Nan Mahon. Together with some other
friends, they really grow up, what is especially hard for Benny, because of her
parents. They want to see her married to the clerk of her father. But Benny has
fallen for Jack.
Now, life isn't as easy as it used to be and some hard decisions have to be made
by every single member of the "circle of friends".
