Summary

Baby Frankie is born into an unusual family. Her mother is desperate to find someone to take care of her child, and she doesn’t have much time. Noel doesn’t seem to be the most promising of fathers, but despite everything he could well be Frankie’s best hope. As for Lisa, she is prepared to give up everything for the man she loves; surely he’s going to love her back. And Moira is having none of it. She knows what’s right and has the power to change the course of Frankie’s life...but Moira is hiding secrets of her own.

Minding Frankie is a story about unconventional families, relationships which aren't quite what they seem, and the child at the heart of everyone's lives....

Easy Listen

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, It was a nice story and a easy listen.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

no, it was easy to pick up and put down, easy to follow, not very gripping but you wanted to know how things worked out.

A book that envelops you with comfort

Maeve Binchy is the absolute guru of this genre of writing. I love the way she weaves believable characters and tells stories of fairly ordinary folk. Having read a number of her books I also enjoy the glimpses we get of characters from previous novels. The lady from the social services rang so many bells. This is gentle entertainment that leaves the listener happier than at the beginning. Delightfully read by Kate Binchy who imparts real warmth and empathy.

a story well told

I laughed, I cried, but most of all i enjoyed a well told tale.

Who will give us such heart warming stories now? it will take someone special to fill her shoes.

Good if you like Maeve Binchy books

This is a fairly interesting story, although the social worker in the story is not very likeable. The only criticism I would give it is the narrating voice - makes the characters all sound quite old.
If you like Maeve Binchy stories, you will probably enjoy this.
