Colleen McCullough is more famous for her book The Thornbirds, but she works her magic in Bittersweet as well. Bittersweet is about the coming of age of four sisters, all twins as they train for a new position, educated nurses in Austrailia. A great story of life and love in New South Wales in the early 1900's.

A British woman, Marie Sharp's opinionated view of life at 60 in London. Despite Marie's rather wild past in the 1960's she has become rather set in her ways. Her friends and family manage to change her mind about life, death, grandchildren and sex after 60. She records all the changes in her life, with dry humor, in her diary.

This is a collection of short stories by Maeve Binchy. All are good but somehow not as uplifting as her newer books.
