Publisher Description
They met in cooking school-and became fast friends with a common dream. Now, Cathy Scarlet and Tom Feather hope to take Dublin by storm with their newly formed catering company, aptly dubbed "Scarlet Feather." Not everyone, however, shares their optimism. Cathy's mother-in-law disapproves of both Cathy and her new "hobby," while Cathy's husband Neil pays no mind to anything - except his work as a civil rights lawyer. And then there's Tom's family, who expect him to follow in his father's footsteps, and an ambitious girlfriend who's struggling with career dreams of her own. Between friends and families, ups and downs, heartaches and joys, Cathy Scarlet and Tom Feather are about to embark on the most maddening - and exhilarating - year of their lives.

"Second favourite Binchy book after The Glass Lake, Scarlet Feather is a wonderful story with two of the most endearing characters the author's ever come up with (and that's saying something)- the children Simon and Maud. Fans of Binchy's expertise at intertwining characters and plots will not be disappointed with this book."

" This was as good as Tara Road by the same author. Just a great book that is very entertaining. This book is not going to change your life, but I didn't want it to be over. I started it on vacation and then would only read a little at a time to make it last longer! Get this for your summer book! "

— Sande, 2/2/2014 -
" This book always makes me sooooo hungry! I want to be able to cook meals like the ones they make :-) I think this is my favourite of Maeve Binchy's books, although this time round I found I could relate to Cathy and Neil's marital problems a bit too much, compared to before I got married. "
— Maria, 1/24/2014 -
" A bit too long for the amount of fluff contained with in. Interesting characters, but they don't actually DO all that much over the course of the book. I felt as though it could have been 100 pages shorter without much loss. "
— Slincn, 1/22/2014 -
" This is one of my favorite books by Binchy, and it is so well written that you actually feel like you are living the lives of the characters. You experience all of their ups and downs, and when the last page is done you are left wanting more. "

" This was the perfect little book for the holidays. I seem to always come back to Ms Binchy during the long winter months. Her characters are so easy to relate to and her stories always different and interesting. Very good winter time comfort reading. Goes very well with fuzzy socks and hot cocoa :) "

" The character breath, depth and interaction is very well done! "
— Rosemarie, 11/24/2013 -
" Found this book overly long but well written. Maeve Binchy successfully wove in plots for many characters, but it seemed to take forever for anything to happen. "
— Diana, 11/5/2013 -

" Tom Feather and Cathy Scarlet begin a catering business in Dublin, Ireland. This story is about their dreams, struggles and their families. I was sad when I finished because I did not want the story to end. Great lovable characters which is a trademark of Maeve Binchy. "

— Winston, 12/3/2012 -

" One of my favorite authors who writes about relationships. I enjoyed this book. "
— Sande, 2/23/2011 -
" Or I should say, I used to love her. I am so surprised by the agnostic tone of conversations. I didn't even finish this one. It is interesting how things that I loved before I began to walk with Christ are no longer appealing to me. "
— Katy, 2/15/2011 -
" I love the way Ms. Binchy weaves her characters together through the different storylines. This was a very engrossing book! "
