Is it possible to tell the story of a generation and a city through the history of a restaurant? Ella Brady thinks so. She wants to film a documentary about Quentins that will capture the spirit of Dublin from the 1970s to the present day. After all, the restaurant saw the people of a city become more confident in everything from their lifestyles to the food that they chose to eat. And Quentins has a thousand stories to tell. But as Ella uncovers more of what has gone on at Quentins, she begins to wonder whether some secrets should be kept that way...With "Quentins," Maeve Binchy follows her bestselling "Scarlet Feather" with a new book that delivers the hallmark storytelling that has kept millions of her readers happy for more than twenty years.

She read it through but said she didn't like it. I almost asked, "life is too short; why did you read it if you didn't like it?" Then remembered her age and decided not to ask. ;)
Left in the building's library.
