Tom is the son of a builder and his fanatically devout wife, both of whom are disappointed that he hasn't joined the family building firm. Cathy's father is an inveterately optimistic gambler on the horses, and her mother, Lizzie, is a domestic cleaner. 

In particular Lizzie cleans the house of Cathy's mother-in-law, the fearsome Hannah Mitchell. Hannah is furious that her clever lawyer son, Neil, should have married her maid's daughter, and is even more outraged when Cathy sets up Scarlet Feather with Tom. Tom's hopelessly obsessive love for his beautiful, ambitious model girlfriend, Marcella, and Cathy's increasingly distant marriage to Neil, form the heart of the emotional tangles in the story.

Against a background of hilarious catering triumphs and disasters, these key relationships begin to crumble, and the aphrodisiac of shared business trials and tribulations starts its inevitable work on Cathy and Tom.

About the Author:

Maeve Binchy was the literary equivalent of a big, comforting hug. Born in Dublin, Ireland in 1940, Maeve had a magical way of turning everyday lives into extraordinary stories that made readers feel right at home—like they were sitting by the fire, tea in hand, listening to an old friend spill the best kind of secrets.

Before becoming a beloved novelist, Maeve was a teacher and a journalist (she once reported from Israel using a typewriter and carbon paper—iconic). Her first book, Light a Penny Candle, lit the way for a career full of bestselling novels that captured the heart and soul of Irish life, love, and friendship. Her writing was rich with lovable characters, small-town drama, big feelings, and just the right amount of wit.

Books like Circle of Friends, Tara Road, and Evening Class didn’t just entertain—they wrapped readers in a world so real you’d swear you’d met the characters in the local shop. She didn’t need high-speed car chases or masked villains—her drama lived in family kitchens, whispered confessions, and long-standing feuds that could only happen in a tight-knit community.

Maeve Binchy made the ordinary feel extraordinary. Her books are the kind you finish with a smile, a tear, and a sudden urge to call your oldest friend.
