Scarlet Feather

by Maeve Binchy

ORION PUBLISHING GROUP | April 2, 2001 | Trade Paperback

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.

    Maeve Binchy is one of those authors who seems to have a looking glass into the souls of many people. Her characters can become your friends as you cry and laugh along with their dreams, hopes, and struggles!

    Nobody can capture the dynamics of life in a small town (or where ever!) like MB! Her books are incredible. It's sounds so cliche but, you really do miss the characters when the book is over! Check out this book and you won't be disappointed!

    This is the first book that I have read of Maeve Binchy. I enjoyed it so much that I hated to put it down, I am now reading my second novel of hers and have three others waiting on the book shelf to be read.

    Maeve Binchy never disappoints!

    One of my favourite characteristics of a Binchy novel is the fact that she focuses so much on character development. This story intertwines the lives of so many people and the dynamics explored keep you turning the pages. Thrown into the world of catering, modeling, and family affairs, you seem destined to become a part of the story, because you just can't help loving and/or loathing these people. A great read! I highly recommend it.
