A heart-warming, light read
I am a fan of Maeve Binchy and A Week in Winter did not disappoint.
The story begins with Chicky Starr and her idea of setting up a B&B in a small coastal town of western Ireland. With the help of a few of her friends and family, her dreams become a reality and she soon welcomes her first guests.
The story continues to detail the reasons behind each of the guests stay at Stone House. I was eager to learn the cicumstances of each guest and how their situation improved upon staying at Stone House for that week in winter.

Wayne and Mitchum in a great western
A wandering gun for hire comes to the aid of his old friend, now a drunk local sheriff, when some bad men come into town and try and swindle a local family from their ranch's water. Along the way, he picks up a young knife-wielding sidekick to aid him in his quest.

One of the better Wayne westerns I have watched recently. Good action scenes, great acting and an interesting coherent story make this very memorable.

Great to see Wayne alongside Mitchum as well as a very young James Caan and Ed Asner.

Highly recommended.
