ⓘ About Chris Binchy

An Irish author, the writer Chris Binchy is well known for his unique and interesting insight into the human psyche, as he has been able to craft well honed dialogue alongside compelling and witty narratives, as his stories come to life off the page, something which goes some way towards explaining how he has come to be a worldwide sensation in recent times. With prose that sparks and crackles, his words are extremely immediate in their style and tone, giving them a highly vivid and rich texture, allowing them to speak almost directly to the reader. This has also helped to warm him to the critics and reviewers as well, as he is able to write not just commercially, but for his many peers and contemporaries as well, something which has garnered him a great deal of respect over the years.
