A luxurious restaurant in Ireland

My favorite book of the month: 
Quentins by Maeve Binchy

by Beate Boeker

Maeve Binchy is a well-known Irish author who weaves tales of family and love in an enticing Irish setting. She has written an amazing number of successful novels, and my favorite one is Quentins. Quentins is a luxurious restaurant in Dublin, Ireland. With incredible skill, Maeve Binchy weaves the stories of many guests and the restaurant owners into a fascinating total. This books is not a collection of short stories, but each story merges into another and then comes back to the previous heroines, to pick up the thread and develop it.

Maeve Binchy's stories are uplifting because they tell you that dreaming will take you somewhere, and that hard work and perseverance will eventually pay. They also tell you that community is important, friends, family, and above all, integrity. That's why I love her books.

This is one of the key scenes in Quentins:

Brenda put on her shoes, walked to the kitchen on unsteady feet.

„Patrick,“ she said, „could you pour me a small brandy?“

„You look as if you've seen a ghost.“

„I've seen our future,“ she said.
