Maeve Binchy (pictured) is one of the most successful Irish writers of all time — her books sold 43 million copies worldwide, and her fans included First Lady Barbara Bush, who invited her to the White House.

As the 10th anniversary of her death approaches, this documentary assesses her legacy and role as a social chronicler, looking at how she didn’t shy away from tough topics. It also finds out why her books are celebrated by a new generation of readers.
