	Amazon.co.uk: Scarlet Feather: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In Scarlet Feather Binchy once more does what she does best: introducing a cast of characters whose personalities develop gently and whose lives are carefully and almost imperceptibly blended into the mix of love affairs, heartache, humour and family ties.
		One of the finest aspects of Binchy's feather-light touch is that it's almost possible to forget that you are reading a work of fiction and feel instead as if you are amongst a group of friends.
		Binchy's strength is that she can take a character, bring that character to life, and evolve that character into a different person by the end of the novel.

	BookPage Interview March 2001: Maeve Binchy
		Binchy has made a career -- even two -- from exploring the details and dramas of people's lives, first as advice columnist for The Irish Times and now as one of Ireland's best-loved authors.
		When Binchy's characters aren't winning, they keep their misery to themselves, a lesson Binchy herself learned as a girl.
		We were sure of an audience of five, we all listened to who my mother met when she went out, what my father did in the law courts all day, the dramas, old farmers fighting with each other.

	Amazon.com: Tara Road (Oprah's Book Club): Books: Maeve Binchy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In her latest engaging novel, prolific Irish author Binchy returns to the notion of sea change, addressed in her early work Light a Penny Candle (1983), which chronicled the story of an English girl during WWII who goes to live in Ireland.
		The pleasures Binchy offers readers are her lively depiction of social connections, feuds and friendships; secrets, lies, alliances, in short, the thicket of Irish everyday life.
		Maeve Binchy also gave us characters that we could truly love (Ria, Colm and Marilyn) plus she created characters that you can truly hate (Danny and Rosemary) I also like the way the author used the house on Tara Road as a symbol of Danny and Ria's marriage and dreams.

	Quentins by Maeve Binchy
		The pop reading world shuddered last year when best-selling author Maeve Binchy said that 2002's "Scarlet Feather" would be her last novel.
		Quentins restaurant is familiar to Binchy fans as an upscale place, run by the unflappable Patrick and Brenda Brennan, in which many a key scene from earlier books has occurred.
		While it's always nice to run into an old friend, Binchy's latest also suffers from the familiarity fans have with the characters, meaning that some of the details just don't add up.

		Binchy's latest work (after Quentins) would present a challenge to any narrator; the large cast of characters includes tourists from all over the globe who meet and become friends after witnessing a tragic accident in a tiny Greek village.
		The plot was very contrived and that might have been fine if the dialogue had been believable and if the characters had had some depth.
