The novel "Light a Candle" is a warm and touching story of friendship, unfolding against the backdrop of a difficult time in the middle of the 20th century. During World War II, little Elizabeth is sent from dangerous London to a quiet Irish town. There she finds herself in a large and noisy family, where everything is arranged differently than in her previous life. It is here that she meets Aisling, a girl who becomes a true friend to her. Their friendship goes through the years of growing up, the distances, the changes, and the trials of life. Against the background of their history, the contrast of two worlds is revealed — restrained, urban England and traditional, patriarchal Ireland. But despite the differences, it is human intimacy that is stronger than any boundaries. This is one of the most famous novels of Maeve Binchy, which brought her wide popularity. The book impresses with its sincerity and vitality: there are no loud dramas, but there are real emotions, recognizable situations and a subtle understanding of human relationships.
