Book Review By Cher Desjard
Scarlet Feather by Maeve Binchy

Cathy Scarlet and Tom Feather dreamed of having their own business when they went to cooking school together and 'Scarlet Feather' is the name of the catering business they struggle to get off the ground together. I lost a few nights sleep in wanting to know what would happen with Cathey and Neil, her activist lawyer husband, and would Tom's girlfriend, Marcella make it big as a model. I love the way Maeve rambles on all over the map, she writes like I speak and that's what captivates me, it's as though we're talking to each other. This was my favourite Binchy so far and I'm a big fan!
