Maeve Binchy, one of Ireland's most beloved writers, has died in Dublin after a short illness at the age of 72, Irish media reported on Tuesday.
Binchy was revered for such novels as "Light a Penny Candle," "Tara Road," and "Circle of Friends," which was adapted for the screen in 1995. She sold more than 40 million books worldwide.
Her novels and short stories often examined the friction between tradition and modernity in Ireland. Her works have been translated into 37 languages.
Born in the Dublin suburb of Dalkey in 1940, she began her career as a teacher before moving into a distinguished career as a newspaper journalist and writer.
She then moved to London, where she became the London editor of The Irish Times newspaper.
Her first novel, "Light a Penny Candle," was published in 1982 and became a bestseller.
She later published dozens of novels, novellas and collections of short stories, including "The Copper Beech," "Silver Wedding," "Evening Class," and "Heart and Soul."

#1 New York Times bestselling author Maeve Bunchy tells the story of a generation and a city through the history of a Dublin restaurant in this “warm-hearted” (Boston Herald) enthralling novel. Ella Brady wants to film a documentary about Quentin’s that will capture the spirit of Dublin from the 1970s to the present day.
After all, the restaurant saw the people of a city become more confident in everything from their lifestyles to the food that they chose to eat. And Quentin’s has a thousand stories to tell. But as Ella uncovers more of what has gone on at Quentin’s, she begins to wonder whether some secrets should be kept that way... “Quentin’s is not just any Dublin restaurant; it’s a place where wedding proposals, business deals, family ties, and friendships are forged (and sometimes broken).”—The Seattle Times
