Quentins Mm

by Maeve Binchy

McArthur & Company | July 15, 2003 | Mass Market Paperbound

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 make a film documentary about Quentins that wil capture the spirit of Dublin from the 1970's to the present day. Quentins has many tales to tell: of love, of betrayal, and revenge. There has been hope and even despair sitting in these chairs, and the staff who come and go have stories of their own. The whole place is presided over by the apparently imperturbable chef Patrick Brennan and his wife Brenda, who have made Quentins such a legend in the life of Dubliners and visitors alike. We meet old friends (the twins from SCARLET FEATHER, Ria from TARA ROAD, the signora from EVENING CLASS) and new. A magical new book, QUENTINS show Maeve Binchy at her most brilliant - revealing the secrets of human hearts with warmth and truth.

    Another Brilliant Binchy Book

    There's nothing like a good Binchy Book to relax to and once again, she's proven to be among the best in Irish writings. Binchy's storytelling weaves like magic and the Irish charm is there. Highly recommended!

    When I read the back of the book, I thought, Who would want to read a book just about people, with no interesting conflict or anything? But when I read Maeve Binchey's books I realise that you don't need robbers or explosions to have an interesting story, and that's what's so great about her books. Her characters are like regular people, with regular problems. Oh, and the occasional affair, bankruptcy, and a few muscle men chasing a girl down to retrieve a briefcase with confidential information that could cause the corruption of ones business...

    I loved this book! I started to read it on Sunday around 5:00 pm, and I didn't go to sleep until I finished it! It is remarkable how Ms. Binchy is able to draw in characters from her other novels, and fit everything together so naturally. I can't wait for her next book! :)

About the Author

Irish-born Maeve Binchy is a teacher turned newspaper columnist turned novelist. She was born in Dublin on May 28, 1940. Her father was a lawyer and her mother a nurse. She received her B.A. in 1960 from University College in Dublin. After teaching at a school for girls, she became a columnist for the Irish Times in 1968. By 1979, Binchy was writing plays, a successful television script, and several short story collections. Her first novel, Light a Penny Candle (1982), was a Literary Guild Dual Selection. Two of her novels, Silver Wedding (1989) and Circle of Friends (1991), have been Book-of-the-Month Club selections. Currently, there are more than six million copies of her books in print. Binchy's novels are usually set in rural Ireland, where Binchy seems to capture the dynamics of life and relationships in small towns. A Circle of Friends, successfully translated into a popular film, is the coming-of-age story of three young women in 1950s Dublin. Binchy lives in a suburb of Dublin.
