Amazon Review:
Cathy Scarlet and Tom Feather are on the brink of realising their dream: to open a catering company in the heart of Dublin, the eponymous Scarlet Feather. Friends since college, Cathy and Tom are sure of each other and united in their shared goal, but not everyone around them is so supportive of their ambitions.
A disapproving mother-in-law, an overworked husband, a distracted girlfriend and terrible twins, hell-bent on creating as much havoc and asking as many difficult (yet humorous) questions as they possibly can, stir up recipes for trouble. Passion could very well be a feature on the menu as Tom and Cathy turn increasingly to each other for support and grow ever closer in their shared aim of making Scarlet Feather the best catering company Dublin has ever seen.
In Scarlet Feather Binchy once more does what she does best: introducing a cast of characters whose personalities develop gently and whose lives are carefully and almost imperceptibly blended into the mix of love affairs, heartache, humour and family ties. One of the finest aspects of Binchy's feather-light touch is that it's almost possible to forget that you are reading a work of fiction and feel instead as if you are amongst a group of friends. --Emily Lowson

I set myself a challenge this year to send at least one RABCK to someone each month. This is now being sent to ****** for September 2006. I also notice from RABCK.com that it is their birthday this month. Many Happy Returns.
thanks for sending molekilby! i love your bookplate design. sorry it took me so long to journal this. i've been trying to decide whether to read this yet...but i just finished evening class and i think i'll read tara road first, just to be in sequence. i read quentins quite some time ago, and loved how the characters reappeared in Evening Class....will be interesting to see if they all appear in the other novels!
p.s. a freecycle book! yeah!
