Summary
Read by star of Derry Girls, Holding, and Redemption, Siobhan McSweeney.
Maeve Binchy at her very best - the superb novel of one summer, and four people whose lives are irrevocably changed.
Four strangers, with nothing in common but a need to escape, meet in a Greek taverna high above the small village of Aghia Anna. From Ireland, America, Germany and England they have each left behind their homes and their old lives, when a shocking tragedy throws them unexpectedly together.
Nights of Rain and Stars is the story of one summer and four people, each with a life in turmoil - and Vonni, the Irish exile who would very much like to help them, but has demons of her own to battle....

"The perfect summer read." (Mail on Sunday)
"The landscape is evocatively Greek, the characters so real you feel you know them. Warm, thoughtful, vintage Maeve Binchy." (Choice Magazine)

Nights of Rain and Stars
Lovely read as usual by Maeve Binchy. I love the way all her books roll into one, you feel you already know the characters. Beautifully written in her own wonderful style.

This book has such a modern feel about it.
I loved this story and the narration was excellent. Lovely to hear the beginning of Fionas story which carries on in Heart and soul.

The Narrator's Great!
Another review criticized the reader - wrong! The reader is excellent, clear and not too fast, perfect for driving along in the car :-)
The story is as magic as ever, especially if you have ever been on a Greek island for any length of time. Lovely flow of characters and relationships.

As always, an enjoyable listen.
I think I've listened to most of Maeve Binchy's books and always enjoy them. This book is a little different to her others, usally there is a chapter for each character in the book but that's not the case with this one. Each character is introduced gradually, I must admit I'm glad I listened to the book but I probably enjoyed some of her other books more, i.e. Circle of Friends must be my favourite. Also it's worth reading this book as other books make refererence to Fiona's time on the Greek Island.

Narrator spoilt a great story
To me, the narrator has an Irish accent that she slows downs in her speech and try’s to speak with an English accent and then other accents for other various characters which spoils it for me as they aren’t in the correct accent. It’s a shame as I love the author and storyline. If she spoke in the Irish accent I’d have preferred it.

Perfect Maeve and Perfect Siobhan
What a wonderful storyteller Maeve was. This book covered various people with many accents. Siobhan is also a wonderful actor who is adept with accent changes for the characters in the book. I have just finished the book for a second time. Bravo Maeve👏👏🥇
