Instead of nostalgia, Binchy evokes contemporary life; instead of Christmas homilies, she offers truth; and instead of sugarplums, she brings us the nourishment of holidays that precipitate change, growth, and new beginnings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stories in This Year It Will Be Different powerfully evoke many lives during the one holiday of the year when feelings cannot be easily step-families grappling with exes; long-married couples faced with in-law problems; a wandering husband choosing between 'the other woman' and his wife; a child caught in the grown-up tug-of-war. The time of year may be magical, imbued with personal meaning, but the situations are universal, and Maeve Binchy makes us care about them\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maeve Binchy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43635620741289,"sku":"9781865081977","price":7.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9781865081977.jpg?v=1707447593","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/this-year-it-will-be-different","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
