Irish writer and journalist Maeve Binchy (1940-2012) is well known not only in her homeland, but also around the world. In addition to her short stories, Binchy wrote more than half a dozen novels, and her books were consistently bestsellers and repeatedly won prestigious international awards. In the 1970s, Binchy published three collections of short stories, and quite successfully, but the real fame came to her after the release of her first novel "Light a Candle" (1982). "Hawthorn Forest", written in 2006, received the warmest reviews from readers and critics. On the outskirts of the Irish town of Rossmore grows Hawthorn Forest, where the spring of St. Anne beats. Some assure that this place has miraculous powers, others consider it a fetish around which ridiculous superstitions are planted. There are rumors that soon a highway will be built around the city, which means that the forest will have to be uprooted and the source will be destroyed. But people from generation to generation have come here to share their dreams and fears ... Undoubtedly, the townspeople will benefit from the construction of the new road, but won't something immeasurably more valuable than modern comfort be lost? When a choice has to be made between good traditions and the promises of the future, passions are running high at Rossmore....
