Heart And Soul

Healing Hearts in the Heart of Dublin

Heart and Soul by Maeve Binchy is a warm, uplifting novel that celebrates friendship, resilience, and the quiet strength of community. First published in 2009 by Orion, this beautifully crafted story brings together a cast of unforgettable characters linked by a small cardiac clinic in Dublin.

At the centre of the story is Dr. Clara Casey, who’s been tasked with setting up a new heart clinic while juggling the chaos of her own personal life. As patients and staff come together—from struggling young mothers and troubled teenagers to seasoned doctors and hopeful romantics—the clinic becomes more than just a place of healing. It becomes a hub of connection, transformation, and second chances.

Maeve Binchy’s signature warmth and wisdom shine through every page. With compassion and gentle humour, she captures the joys and sorrows of everyday life, showing how even the smallest acts of kindness can have lasting impact.
