15. Silver Wedding - Maeve Binchy

This is the second of 3 books my grandparents leant me.
I like how Maeve Binchy has a knack for intertwining the stories of several people into one cohesive unit.
I liked that this book was an easy read after some of the denser stuff I have been into lately and that it only took me a few days to get through.
I like the sense of overarcing change that went through most of the characters as they prepared for this 25th wedding anniversary.
It was a book about relationships and the myriad of reasons people have for staying together and acting the way they do and for misunderstanding others motivations the way they do and although some of those reasons were bitter sweet they also seemed very true to life.
And I just felt like it could have been me, could have been my friends, my family, my life.
