A week in that winter

Description
Book Introduction
The first domestic introduction of Irish national author Maeve Binchy, who has captivated 40 million readers worldwide!
A novel that encourages life, comforts life, and reveals the secrets of life, like a bell.
#1 New York Times bestseller, winner of the Irish Book Award (2012)
The novel by Maeve Binchy, a world-renowned bestselling author known as “Irish’s most beloved writer” and “a natural storyteller,” is now available to Korean readers for the first time.
Known for her witty stories, vivid characters, a fascination with human nature, and unexpected endings, Maeve Binchy's works have sold over 40 million copies worldwide.
He received great love for every work he published, and was awarded the British Book Award Lifetime Achievement Award and the Irish PEN/AT
He has also won numerous literary awards, including the Cross Award, the Bob Hughes Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Irish Book Award Lifetime Achievement Award.
In the summer of 2012, when the world's festival, the Olympics, was in full swing, the BBC website in the UK was occupied by an article announcing the death of a writer instead of news about the Olympics.
It was an article announcing the death of star writer Maeve Vinci.
When she passed away, Enda Kenny, then Prime Minister of Ireland, mourned Vinci's death on behalf of the nation, saying, "An Irish treasure has passed away." Irish media, as well as major media outlets in the UK and the US such as The Guardian and The New York Times, ran special articles mourning her death, calling it "the death of Ireland's most beloved writer."
A Week in Winter was her last work, published after Maeve Binchy's death.
This novel is set in a small hotel called Stonehouse on the west coast of Ireland and tells the story of the people who gather there in a warm and witty way.
Not only Chiki, who is transforming the Stone House, a mansion on the verge of collapse, into a hotel, but also the guests who visit the Stone House, each have their own problems.
When they need a break to change direction or slow down their pace of life, this is where they come to visit.
And while some people's lives experience a miraculous moment of change, others' lives just flow on as they are now.
Her last work, A Week in Winter, is, as the translator puts it, “a condensed version of everything she experienced in life, everyone she met, and every secret of every moment.”
Vinci's love for his homeland, Ireland, which he cherished throughout his life, and his deep affection for its people, can also be seen in this work.
Maeve Vinci's last work is "a love letter to her homeland in itself" (People).

Into the book
“I never thought my life would turn out like this.”
“I never thought my life would turn out like this.
But at some point in life, we all have to sort things out and move on.” --- p.75
Mr. Daily reminded us again that life is in our own hands.
The decision is yours to make.
--- p.105
This is a good place to think.
When I go to the beach, I feel smaller.
I feel like I'm becoming less important.
Then everything will fall back into its proper proportions.
--- p.127
“I think I know what you mean when you say there’s healing power in this place,” John said.
“I haven’t been here long, but I can already feel the power.” --- p.223
“And I think what really annoys me is my parents.
My parents are too interested in my life.
It's getting harder and harder to hide how annoying it is.”
“Oh, parents are always wrong, Ola.
“That’s how it is when you become a parent.” --- p.227
At that moment, he thought he would never be able to love anyone.
Love was for poets, love songs and dreamers.
It wasn't something people did in real life.
--- p.280
The reason the problem is not solved neatly on its own is because of coincidences.
The problem is solved when you make a decision.
--- p.320
“Part of our luck is what we make of it.”
"perhaps.
But we listened when people tried to help us.
He couldn't do that."

Publisher's Review
Hotel Stone House, a healing space for all people with all kinds of stories.
The next guest here is you!
Stonybridge, a coastal town in the west of Ireland, is rainy, windy and dreary most of the year.
Stone House, an old mansion perched on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
As the winds of change blow through Stony Bridge, this mansion is in danger of being torn down.
Chiki, who has been away from home for a long time and living in the United States, takes over Stone House and begins renovating it into a hotel.
Chicky fell in love with Walter, an American man who was traveling to Ireland, and despite her family's dissuasion, she left Ireland for America.
But the love that seemed like it would last forever soon ends, and Chiki, who has strong pride, cannot bring herself to tell her family about this.
Instead of returning to Ireland, Chicky remains in the United States and lives independently, working at Mrs. Cassidy's guesthouse.
But for her, Stony Bridge was a place she would return to someday.
Chiki, who left there at the age of twenty and is now middle-aged, receives an unexpected offer.
Miss Queenie, the owner of Stone House, suggested turning this place into a hotel.
When Chiki learns that Stone House is in danger of being torn down by the O'Hara family, who plan to build a villa complex on the coast, she accepts the offer.
Although the whole family thinks it's crazy, Chiki takes over the Stone House and sets about converting it into a hotel.
Born in Dublin to a single mother, Rieger lived a difficult and destitute life.
He gets caught by the police because he hangs out with bad friends and steals meat from a butcher shop.
His mother, Nullah, asks her childhood friend, Chiki, to take care of Rigger, and Rigger visits his mother's hometown, Stonybridge, for the first time and starts working at Stonehouse.
Here, Chiki's nephew, Ola, joins us.
Olla is exhausted from working in a company in London.
She returns home, planning to stay for only a year.
By creating a reservation system program and brochures and promoting it through social media, Olla gradually recovers her tired mind.
Stone House is fully prepared to welcome guests.
In the first week of opening, customers finally begin to arrive one by one.
Anders, a serious young man from Sweden.
Frida, a young librarian with an unspeakable secret.
John, an American, came here impulsively after missing his flight.
Henry and Nicola, a tough-looking English couple who are both doctors.
Nell, a woman who keeps her mouth shut as if she is so dissatisfied with something.
Winnie and Lillian say they are friends, but they don't seem like friends at all.
And the Wol couple, who won an event and came to a hotel on the Irish beach, are very dissatisfied with the fact.
What stories brought them to Stone House? The ordinary yet special "Week in Winter" begins for these individuals, each with their own unique story.
