As with all the other Maeve Binchy books I've read, I loved this one too! 12 chapters...one for each month of the year in which the book takes place. Great story between Tom and Cathy, two catering school buddies who decide to open up their own catering business. There are side stories about the other characters in the book and they all intertwine. Maeve Binchy is a wonderful storyteller and this book did not disappoint. There was a time when I didn't think I would finish it before I had to return it to the library...I did renew it once! LOL! ( ) Very good book. I have no had the chance to read any of the other books by this author but I have read numerous reviews that this is just one of the many great ones she has. I was excited to start this book. The location sounds lovely and makes me want to visit. The characters are developed so well that you feel like you know them personally or that you want to know them personally. Served up with the ease that makes Maeve Binchy's work delectable, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Dublin. The reader drew me into the story and rendered each character with sympathy as the cast each made their entry and then interacted with each other in all of their humanity. The tone and style of the book reminded me of Jane Austin's, with conversation and dialog revealing so much about humor, manners, character, and social status. Add to that the way some people seem to be one thing and turn out to be another. In the end I was left thinking longest about the odd 9-year-old siblings, Simon and Maude. Through their presence, Binchy observes and questions the strengths and shortcomings of child protective services and foster care while examining what it means for the twins as well as adult characters, to be family. Cathy y Tom acaban de abrir La pluma escarlata, una compañía de catering destinada a deslumbrar a los dublineses. Sin embargo, no todos comparten su entusiasmo. La suegra de Cathy desaprueba tanto a su nuera como su nuevo hobby, y su marido no atiende a nada que no sea su trabajo. Y Tom no lo tiene mucho más fácil: su familia espera que siga los pasos de su padre y su ambiciosa novia tiene planes propios para conseguir sus sueños. A pesar de todo, Cathy y Tom están decididos a embarcarse en el año más estimulante de sus vidas. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

HTML: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...
