Praise for Maeve Binchy and Scarlet Feather

“In Scarlet Feather, Binchy again proves herself a master storyteller...A great read.”—USA Today

“The dialogue crackles with wit and authentic Irish style...It takes a huge amount of talent, insight, and compassion to create a ‘simple’ good story, and Maeve Binchy has it all.”—The Cleveland Plain Dealer

“Binchy has a masterful grip on the ins and outs of her plots, and weaves together each strand into an artful display of devotion and dedication, family and friendship.”—Houston Chronicle

“Binchy’s latest novel is as welcome as a hearthside armchair in the middle of a blizzard, and reading Scarlet Feather is a lot like sitting in that chair while sharing tea with a special friend.”—The Denver Post

“A big, sprawling novel, as charming as its natural-born-storyteller author.”—The Miami Herald

“A remarkably gifted writer...a wonderful student of human nature.”—The New York Times Book Review 

“Reading one of Maeve Binchy’s novels is like coming home.”—The Washington Post

“Binchy’s genius is transforming storytelling into art.”—San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle

“Binchy’s tales combine warmth and spunk in a quintessentially Celtic way...In the field of women’s popular fiction, the Dublin storyteller sticks out like a faultless solitaire on a Woolworth’s jewelry counter.”—Chicago Tribune
