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!

Great Summer Read

Scarlet Feather was definately a can't put down read. It was by far my favourite Binchy book. The characters come to life and you find yourself right there in Dublin with them. Take this book to the beach but don't forget the sunscreen - you'll be there for hours.

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.

Disappointing!!

I had never read anything by Maeve Binchy. Everyone that I know simply raves about her novels and so after having Scarlet Feather recommended to me, I thought that I was in for a treat. I found the story line to be weak, the characters were too "fictional" - there was nothing real about them, and the plot moved along slowly and predictably. + read more

I thought that this book was quite interesting. It was good, great storyline but it was definitly too predictable! I think it would have been better if it had of ended sooner, there would have been more suspense. Still, it's a good read and I enjoyed it!

Disappointing

This review is from: Scarlet Feather (Trade Paperback)

I have read nearly all of Maeve Binchy's novels, but I was very disappointed in Scarlet Feather. I took an instant dislike to the main character Cathy Scarlett, whom I found to be annoying and self-centred. Anyone who has 9 year olds would find the twins Maud and Simon to be completely unrealistic. Everything just comes together too well in the end. A man that doesn't work and bets all his money on horse races is made to look like some sort of hero. Maeve Binchy needs to get back to her… + read more

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.
