Publisher Description
“The dialogue crackles with wit and authentic Irish style...It takes a huge amount of talent, insight, and compassion to create a ‘simple’ good story, and Maeve Binchy has it all.”—The Cleveland Plain Dealer
Two friends struggle to balance their personal and professional lives in this charming novel from acclaimed author Maeve Binchy.
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 and Tom are about to embark on the most maddening-and exhilarating-year of their lives...

Excellent read
A little predictable but so enjoyable. Great story line, very interesting subjects, loved every chapter.
Scarlet Feather
Oh my gosh what a wonderful book ! The only thing I could complain about was keeping all the characters straight because there are a lot of them. But by the end I had them all sorted out. Now I am off to choose another of her books.
Another Wonderful Book!
I've never read a Maeve Binchy book I didn't love. This one was yet another example of her ability to create engaging characters and a can't-put-it-down story!
