• I really liked this, unusual as I don't usually enjoy short story collections as much as full length novels. Maeve Binchy has the knack of breathing life into a character from an early stage, so you care about what happens to them. There is always the problem of having to say goodbye to them earlier than you would in a novel, but then the next one proves just as fascinating.If I have a criticism, it's regarding the later stories - slightly longer than the earlier ones, and occasionally a bit obscure. But generally a really good read, particularly if you like Maeve Binchy and you like short stories, but worth a go even if you don't

• Typical, well written Maeve Binchy..... I just wish she had developed some of the stories into longer books. But I recommend this book to all Binchy fans.

• Effective collection of short stories about various people (mostly women) who live in London (or visit it), with vignettes of often sad or surprising lives. Some stories have a good twist at the end, others not total;ly successful like that. Connection with the Underground tenuous and could easily have been dropped. I enjoyed it.
