  • Maeve Binchy is an Irish novelist, newspaper columnist and speaker. Educated at University College Dublin, she worked as a teacher then a journalist at The Irish Times and later become a writer of novels and short stories. Many of her novels are set in Ireland, dealing with the tensions between urban and rural life, the contrasts between England and Ireland, and the dramatic changes in Ireland between World War II and the present day. Her novel Circle of Friends was made into a 1995 Hollywood movie starring Chris O'Donnell and Minnie Driver with a radical change of ending. Binchy announced in 2000 that she would not be going on tours with any more novels, but would be devoting her time to other activities, and to her husband, Gordon Snell, a children's author. However, she has written four further novels since then — Quentins, Night of Rain and Stars, Whitethorn Woods, and Heart and Soul. In 1978, Binchy won a Jacob's Award for her RTÉ play, Deeply Regretted By. A second award went to the lead actor, Donall Farmer. A 1993 photograph of her by Richard Whitehead belongs to the collection of the National Portrait Gallery (London) and a painting of her by Maeve McCarthy, commissioned in 2005, is on display in the National Gallery of Ireland.

  • Maeve Binchi gazeteci, kısa öykü yazarı ve romancı. İrlanda’nın başkenti Dublin’in dışında küçük bir köy olan Dalkey’de, 1940 yılında doğdu. Killiney’deki Holy Child Convent adlı, Katolik kız çocuklarının gittiği bir okulu bitirdikten sonra University College’dan mezun oldu ve öğretmen olarak çalışmaya başladı. Yirmi üç yaşındayken, Kudüs’te İsa’nın son yemeğini yediği söylenen mağarayı ziyareti sırasında, dinsel inancını yitirdi. Daha sonra bir kibbutzda çalışmak üzere İsrail’e gitti. Yurtdışında bulunduğu sırada her hafta babasına, bulunduğu yerdeki hayatı ve savaş altındaki toprakları tasvir eden mektuplar yazdı. Babası, bu mektuplardan birini, Dublin’de yayımlanan "Irish Times" gazetesine 18 pound’a sattığında Binchy’nin öğretmen maaşı, 16 sterlindi. Öykü tarzında kaleme alınmış bu mektup, Binchy’ye 1969 yılında "Irish Times"ın da kapılarını açtı.
