Publisher's Summary
New York Times best-selling author Maeve Binchy has a way of making everyday experiences extraordinary. Scarlet Feather introduces budding entrepreneurs Cathy and Tom who, along with their extended families, meet the trials and rewards of life head on.
Scarlet Feather is a new catering company formed by two friends from cooking school, Cathy Scarlet and Tom Feather. Their dream is to have the best business in Dublin. Over the course of a year, from one New Year’s Eve to the next, Cathy and Tom struggle to make their dream a reality. Along the way, they meet their families’ opposition, find the support of friends, and live through the heartaches and triumphs that come with time.

Combined with the subtle skills of award-winning narrator Barbara Caruso, Scarlet Feather is a heartwarming glimpse into the world Cathy and Tom work to make for themselves.

"As Always"
Would you listen to Scarlet Feather again? Why?Possibly. Just to catch some of the phrasing I may have missed.
Who was your favorite character and why?Kathy and Tom. Doggedly devoted and always there for their friends. Kathy is strong enough to realize when she's wrong and go on.
What does Barbara Caruso bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?She has good expression and gives each character their own individual voice.
Any additional comments?Binchy is always good. This may not have been my favorite book of hers but she can tell a very real and believable story that keeps the small twists going. I love her character development and real -life stories that are good without gratuitous violence, back stabbing and violation.

Robin new york, new york, United States 12-09-11 Member Since 2010Hi all. I'm in my 50's (that's relevant, i think), and I favor fiction. I like the british sensibility, and was introduced to the Forsyte Saga through audible ... loved it! I happen to also like Chinese writers, but they are not well represented yet at audible. Looking to follow readers with similar tastes ...

"excellent narration, story drags at times"
i find meave binchy's novels rather inconsistent ... sometimes engaging, sometimes rather sleepy. this book, i thought, falls into the latter category. i would recommend tara road over this one. the narration, however, excellent.

"The narrator makes it impossible to listen to"
This is by far the worse narrator I have listened to, and I've been listening to a minumum of two books a month for four years. At times adopts what is meant to be an Irish accent, which isn't sustained. Also does what is supposed to be a Nigerian accent but is nothing like anything I've hear. Also, when she does "adopt" the accent the characters sound old, but they're meant to be young. I will definitely make sure I don't listen to any other books she narrates. This will be the first book I won't be able to finish.
