The two’s friendship strengthens when they go off to college in Dublin, but it stretches to encompass other students, including beautiful, ambitious Nan Mahon, who is determined to rise above her lower-middle-class roots, and handsome Jack Foley, who’s always at the center of a lively group. ![]() Likewise, Benny isn’t about to hear any criticism from spiteful villagers of Eve’s hand-me-down clothes. Let Birdie Mac at the candy store dare say a word about Benny’s size and she’ll soon feel the wrath of Eve’s tongue. In the Irish village of Knock-glen in the early 1950s, awkward, smiling Benny Hogan, the adored only child of a shopkeeper and his wife, befriends Eve Malone, an orphan living at the local convent. She takes the cliched plot of a superficial best seller – the friendship of three girls growing up – and gives it heart and dimension.
