Light A Penny Candle
Maeve Binchy
“Wonderful…a novel that could be mistaken for life.”—
New York Daily News As a child, Elizabeth White was sent from her war-torn
London home to a safer life in the small Irish town of
Kilgarret. It was there, in the crowded, chaotic O’Connor
household, that she met Aisling—who would become her very
best friend, sharing her pet kitten and secretly teaching
her the intricacies of Catholicism. Aisling’s boldness
brought Elizabeth out of her proper shell; later, her
support carried Elizabeth through the painful end of her
parents’ chilly marriage. In return, Elizabeth’s friendship
helped Aisling endure her own unsatisfying marriage to a
raging alcoholic. Through the years, they always believed
they could overcome any conflict, conquer any hardship.
They believed they could survive anything, as long as they
had each other. Now they’re about to find out if they were
right…
