false 3393648 16 With the warmth, humor, and compassion we have come to expect from her, Maeve Binchy tells a story of family, friends, patients, and staff who are part of a heart clinic in a community caught between the old and the new Ireland. Dr. Clara Casey has been offered the thankless job of establishing the underfunded clinic and agrees to take it on for a year. She has plenty on her plate already&#8212;two difficult adult daughters and the unwanted attentions of her exhusband&#8212;but she assembles a wonderfully diverse staff devoted to helping their demanding, often difficult patients: the infectiously cheerful nurse; the indispensable office manager who can&#8217;t quite manage her own life; the Polish girl who&#8217;s come to Ireland to put a bad love affair firmly in her past and the booming Irish economy in her future; the young doctor who has a special touch with his patients; the physical therapist who undertakes a very different kind of therapy involving a local priest and a stalker. Before long they manage to establish the clinic as an essential part of the community and Clara must decide whether or not to leave a place where lives are saved, courage is rewarded, and humor and optimism triumph over greed and self-pity. <i>Heart and Soul </i>is Maeve Binchy at her heartwarming storytelling best. 2675775 2008 Heart and Soul total:1393|5:23|4:26|3:34|2:12|1:2| 1393 5105 2099 423 5 4 false false Wed Oct 22 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 13 14:37:54 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 22 10:56:52 -0700 2008 1 more...]]> 2 1 false false Fri Mar 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 26 18:18:40 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 18:27:24 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 12:25:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 12:29:15 -0700 2009 4 1 false false Tue Jul 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 08:39:35 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 08:40:58 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Jun 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 09:21:45 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 09:29:48 -0700 2009 The book tells the story of the various people working in the new village Heart clinic.Many of the characters they interact with have been seen in other Binchy stories.
