City Girl: Warmth, wisdom and love on every page - if you treasured Maeve Binchy, read Patricia Scanlan (Volume 1) Paperback – 3 Sept. 2020

Such a wonderful warm book! I’ve read this book years ago but forgot how brilliant a book it is. It’s very magical. Patricia is such a fantastic authoress, enabling the reader to picture every scene. I love her books!!

Three girls brought up very differently and whose lives take different and sometimes difficult paths? But the three friends can always depend on one other to pull them through. Story meanders from Ireland to England, the US and the Middle East, giving well researched background detail. The follow on's, City Women and City Lives take up the story where each leaves off and provides a seamless reading experience ideal for holidays. I enjoy Ms Scanlon's books, they are 'Chick Lit' for grown-ups!

I loved this book. I had read and re-read all Maeve Binchy's novels and was really pleased when I found another Irish writer, Patricia Scanlon. Her lovely long, well written family sagas are great and I was thrilled to find this set of three.*** HOWEVER, BE WARNED: Amazon has labelled them wrongly and Book 2 is actually the final in the set.Read Book 3 next, or else, like me, you will be very disappointed to find the story going back in time. Book 3 fills in all the gaps in the story you wondered about when reading book 2, which is actually the final volume in the set.

This is a lovely relaxing read for your holidays. It is about friendships , relationships and how life changes them. It was a good page turner, effortless. I didn't feel it was very deep, and some of it a little predictable, and some questions left unanswered, but did not spoil the story that was unfolding. Effortless relaxing read.

Easy bedtime read

I’m new to this author and thoroughly enjoyed the storyline. It kept me interested right to the last page and I will definitely buy the next one on the trilogy.

Very enjoyable read about three Irish girls who become firm friends. All have different life experiences but it is the friendship that counts. Recommend it to anyone who enjoys tales of the ups and downs of life!

The storyline and writing make this a great book. There's so much emotion in this book. I enjoyed it so much that I've bought the other 2 titles in this trilogy.

LOVED This book so much I am no on the 2nd and will no doubt buy the third - I bought it as I love patricia scanlan and had never read her first book so I thought i would give it a go... this book follows the lives of 3 woman and had me hooked from the start - I wont go into detail as i hate people that spoil the plot but after reading this i purchased the 2nd book straight away I had to know what happened in the rest of their lives.. would recommend for a great holiday read

I always enjoy Patricia Scanlan and this series was super !

Great holiday read

A good read while on vacation
