Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Maeve Binchy's novel; she famously hated most adaptations of her work but stayed diplomatically silent on this one.
The 'Celtic Tiger' Dublin depicted here was already collapsing by 2005, making Ria's financial naivety accidentally symbolic of the entire nation.
