"A true ""national treasure"" whose work touched lives of so many - IRISH INDEPENDENT Maeve had this marvellously black sense of humour and she was wildly funny and entertaining The author's great skill is to draw you into the world she creates, so that reading her books is like gossiping with old friends - DAILY EXPRESS MAEVE'S TIMES is funny and clever and kind, which are excellent qualities in both books and people ... what this wonderful collection of her work for this paper from 1964 to 2011 makes abundantly clear is that she was a superb journalist - IRISH TIMES"
