From the New York Times bestselling author of Circle of Friends and The Glass Lake comes This Year It Will Be Different, a stunning new work that brings us the magic and spirit of Christmas in fifteen stories filled with Maeve Binchy's trademark wit, charm, and sheer storytelling genius.

Герои сборника рассказов "Рождественский подарок" - семейные пары, страстные любовники, одинокие старики, старые друзья, случайные знакомые. У каждого своя судьба, своя история. В рождественские дни - сказочное время, когда воздух пропитан любовью и счастьем, - житейские проблемы неожиданно обостряются, грозя разрушить очарование момента. Но добрый семейный праздник творит чудеса, и герои находят в себе силы оставить все плохое в уходящем году и начать жить по-новому.

Filled with Maeve Binchy's trademark wit and true storytelling genius, This Year It Will Be Different powerfully evokes the lives of wives, husbands, children, friends and lovers, all set during the one holiday when feelings cannot easily be hidden. There are step-families grappling with exes; long-married couples faced with in-law problems; a wandering husband choosing between the other woman and his wife; a child caught up in a grown-up tug-of-war… The festive season may be magical, but it can also be a time of family difficulties, a time to reflect on relationships; a time of change.
