Heart and Soul is a 2008 novel by the Irish author Maeve Binchy.

The plot centers around what Binchy terms "a heart failure clinic"[1][2] in Dublin and the people involved with it.

Several characters from Binchy's previous novels, including Evening Class, Scarlet Feather, Quentins, and Whitethorn Woods, make appearances.

Binchy, who "suffered a health crisis related to a heart condition" in 2002, was inspired to write Heart and Soul by her own experiences and observations in the hospital.
