Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Best friends since childhood in a small Irish village, first-year college students Benny and Eve are thrilled by the excitement of university life in Dublin. Befriended by Nan, a beautiful classmate with secret ambitions, the three form the nucleus of an ever-widening circle of friends that provides them with a happy sense of belonging and introduces them to a world of carefree activity. However, this light-hearted existence is brought to an abrupt halt when Nan's selfish, callous plans backfire, victimizing Benny and creating within Eve an obsessive desire to avenge Benny. Binchy is a wonderful storyteller, drawing the reader into the hearts of her characters. This engrossing examination of friendship's vicissitudes moves forward effortlessly at a marvelous pace, carrying the reader along on tense, mounting waves of loyalty and deceit. Highly recommended for all popular fiction collections. BOMC alternate.

From School Library Journal
YA-- Binchy transports readers to the village of Knockglen in Ireland to meet Benny, the only child of doting parents; Eve Malone, an orphan raised by nuns; and a host of local characters. The girls form a lasting friendship that continues when they go on to college in Dublin. There they meet beautiful Nan, who tries to hide her poor background and drunken father; Jack Foley, a doctor's son; and all their university friends. Provincial Knockglen and fast-paced Dublin become intertwined as the girls try to exist in both worlds. A wonderful, readable story of successes and disappointments, intrigues and loyalty, families and friendships, this novel demonstrates that testing values, maintaining relationships, and coming of age are universal struggles.

I picked up this book because it was a choice on my summer reading list this year. I chose it because I recognized the title from a movie I owned which is actually the film version of this book. When I got the book I groaned because I realized that it was 600 pages. I figured I wasnt going to like the book because it didnt really fit my favorite genres to read, and that the story was going to be rather lumbersome and slow. Boy was I in for a pleasant surprise. Maeve Binchy perfectly captures the reader's attention from page one. Beginning w/ the start of a new friendship and taking you through all the trials and tribulations of life as a young adult. Eve and Benny are perfect for each other because one compliments the other in characteristics and personality. This story was so fabulous that I picked it up on a rainy day and finished it in three days (it was a busy time for me to be reading). I couldnt put it down. I smiled w/ the characters when they were happy, got angry when they were mad, and, yes, cried when they were sad. This story will take you up and not put you down until the very last page.

Maeve Binchey's book, Circle of Friends, was one of the best books I have ever read. I had seen the movie first (and after reading the book, I realised the movie didn't do it justice), and fell in love with Benny, Jack, Eve, and the other multitude of characters. I was so excited when I found out that it was a book, I went bought it the next day. I sat down on the couch with the book and didn't get up until that afternoon when I finished the book. It was a wonderful page-turner (although it was 600 pages), and is a great book for everyone(especially for adolescences dealing with boyfriends and abstinence). I loved this book, and it has made me want to read more of Maeve Binchy's books.
For those who have read the book, I have two questions: 1. What is the status with Benny and Jack at the end of the book?
2. Is there a sequal to Circle of Friends? If not, is there anyway I could contact Maeve Binchy with the idea?

This book comes close to the sheer perfection Binchy showed in Light a Penny Candle and Echoes. Like these, it is another 'rites of passage' novel involving friends from different social backgrounds who grow up together in a small Irish town in the 1950s, going on to university together in Dublin in the sixties. There are several friends, mainly Benny, Eve and later Nan Malone... and there is Jack; charming, handsome Jack, who runs after all three girls, including chubby and not-so-beautiful Benny.
The film version tried to turn this into a Hollywood hearts-and-flowers soppy ending, but actually Binchy's ending here is more credible in the circumstances. Binchy does not always feel the need to go for the happy endings, the tidy resolutions which authors of other romance novels or rites-of-passage stories like to give us, as was shown in Echoes and Tara Road, for example. Here, the ending Binchy gives us is about the only one possible if the integrity of the characters is to be preserved.
Beautiful, slow-paced, characters you feel you are relly getting to know and can identify with, this book is a delight.
