Scarlet Feather by Maeve Binchy

'I literally could not put the book down' Sunday Express

'This is Binchy at her finest' Woman and Home

'It's little wonder that Maeve Binchy's bewitching stories have become world-beaters' OK Magazine

Cathy Scarlet and Tom Feather have decided to create the best catering company in Dublin. They have plenty of talent, the perfect premises, and even a few contacts. But not everyone is as pleased by the idea of 'Scarlet Feather' as they are.

Tom's parents are disappointed that he has turned his back on the family business. Cathy's mother-in-law believes Cathy should be at home. And Tom's relationship with his beautiful, ambitious girlfriend is slowly disintegrating.

As Cathy and Tom strive to maintain their emotional ties amidst catering triumphs and disasters, they find both support and opposition where they least expect it.
