JMelb was introduced to Maeve Binchy books by her Irish friend Joan, back in 1989 and now owns every novel that Maeve Binchy has written. Each book is an individual story however some characters from previous books can often pop up in other books. The books are a great long read and JMelb wishes they could keep going when they finish! Maeve Binchy's latest book (as at Mar 2010) is Heart and Soul ----- published 2008 ----- and using the following clues from this book you will be able to find the co-ordinates. Thanks to Mister Doctor for alerting us to a new 2010 publication of the book and providing photos of the book to update the puzzle. Clues for both publications are now included
