  <default_description>From the &lt;i&gt;New York Times&lt;/i&gt; bestselling author of &lt;i&gt;Circle of Friends, The Glass Lake,&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Evening Class&lt;/i&gt; comes a stunning collection of fifteen Christmas stories filled with Maeve Binchy's trademark wit, charm, and sheer storytelling genius.&#160;&#160;In &quot;A Typical Irish Christmas,&quot; a grieving widower heads for a holiday in Ireland and finds an unexpected destination not just for himself, but for a father and daughter in crisis. . . .&#160;&#160;In &quot;Pulling Together,&quot; a teacher not yet out of her twenties sees her affair with a married man at a turning point as Christmas Eve approaches. . . .&#160;&#160;And in the title story, &quot;This Year It Will Be Different,&quot; a woman with a complacent husband and grown children enters a season that will forever alter her life, and theirs. . . &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These stories, and a dozen more, powerfully evoke many lives--from step-families grappling with exes to children caught in grown-up tugs-of-war--during the one holiday when feelings cannot be easily hidden.&#160;&#160;The time of year may be magical, imbued with meaning.&#160;&#160;But the situations are timeless.&#160;&#160;And Maeve Binchy makes us care about them all.</default_description>
