From the back:
"Every table at Quentins restaurant in Dublin has a thousand stories to tell. The staff and customers all have tales of their own, and the restaurant itself has had times when it looked set for success, and others when it seemed doomed to failure. Presiding over it all are Patrick and Brenda Brennan, who have made Quentins such a legend - but even their life is not all it seems.
Now Ella Brady wants to make a documentary about Quentins but as she uncovers more of what has gone on, she is forced to confront a devastating dilemma in her own life."

Maeve Binchy is alright in her genre, but this book isn't one of her best. I found the writing somewhat sloppy and in need of editing and I wasn't crazy about the narrative structure either. But if you're after some light entertainment then this is your book!
Next off to Liinuskainen as part of my European literature VBB. Enjoy!
