Summary: Enjoyable and easy to relate to!
Comment: I have been a fan of Maeve Binchy since I saw the film Circle of Friends in 1995. I had to read the book and was amazed that I enjoyed the novel even more than the film.
Her books have rich detail, great story lines (which often interconnect, realistic and humorous dialogue. I had enjoyed her earlier novels whoch deal with young girls coming of age in 1950s rural Ireland. When she switched to more adult books (Evening Class, Tara Road) I wondered how I would like them. They are every bit as enjoyable and this is no exception.
Scarlet Feather is entertaining, the characters are likable and have true depth. I enjoyed that the each chapter is a month in the first year of a fledging catering business. This story is told with more subtlety than some of her other novels and is wonderful.
I couldn't put it down and I was sorry when it ended and hope that the story of Tom Feather and Cathy Scarlet continues in the future

Summary: Comforting And Warm
Comment: It is with regret that Maeve Binchy is saying farewell to us at this time.....her poor beloved readers. I've read most of her books and especially loved Circle of Friends and Tara Road prior to Scarlet Feather.
Scarlet Feather is a wonderful tale which starts from one New Year's Eve to the following New Year's Eve. Centering around the catering company of Tom Feather and Cathy Scarlet we are placed into contact with the entire world of these two, as well as their families. Some are eccentric...some lovable, but all in all the characters fill you with a total warmness and the storyline maintains a sense of regained hope almost like light at the end of the tunnel.
You will meet Cathy Scarlet's husband Neil, an activist lawyer who works consistently for the underdog; Marcella who is Tom's beautiful girlfriend, a model; Maud and Simon, Neil's two neglected cousins and others from Cathy's side of the family.
This book is an ideal gift for any ocasion and should be devoured by all of Ms.Binchy's fans....and we know that they are all over the globe. Highly reccommened!!

Summary: A nice story, again
Comment: Cathy Scarlet and Tom Feather met in catering school and, apart from being good friends, share a dream: owning their own catering business. On one New Year's Eve, Tom happens on the perfect location. And so begins their first year as entrepreneurs.
Binchy, renown for her character development, presents her readers with a full serving of interesting people, some new and some you will remember from previous novels. What I do find about her books, however, is that they are all very similar. The cast is interesting and you do get attached to them, the pace is good, but they read like a good soap opera that has very low-level drama. I for one would like to see Binchy try something different.
If you are a devoted Binchy fan, or are looking for a nice, well-written story, then pick up this book, curl up in your favourite chair with a cup of tea, and enjoy. If you are ambivalent about her previous works, then you should pass on this one, as it is a continuation of her last novels.
