She was known for creating stories with descriptive characters, in depth human nature and clever surprise endings. She was also a speaker, loved for her humorous take on life in small towns of Ireland. Quentin's is like the coffee course of a fabulous meal which the three aforementioned books are the starter, main course and desert - it is the icing on the cake.I liked this book because the character's become real and cosy and Binchy offers short spin off stories within the main story - many threads of a magically woven web.Ī delightful read but clear your diary as you won't be able to put this one down!Maeve Binchy was a columnist, playwright, short story writer, and novelist. For readers new to Binchy's work Quentin's is still an excellent read leaving the reader with the option to check out Scarlet Feather, Tara Road and Evening Class. I finished the book only disappointed to realise that I couldn't actually make a dinner reservation at Quentins! For Maeve Binchy fans this book is a real treasure because as well as being introduced to a wealth of new characters you get glimpses into the ongoing lives of characters from previous books. My husband had this book delivered to me this morning, it is now early evening and I have read this marvellous book from cover to cover,savouring each and every word.
