Ella Brady is a documentary filmmaker who wants to bring the tale of the eponymous Dublin restaurant to the screen. Quentins has had its fair share of ups and downs over the years and has become the meeting point for a lot of characters, including some familiar faces from previous Binchy novels. As Ella makes more and more headway with her documentary, the secrets, betrayals, and stories of love that emerge make her question whether or not she wants to bring the tale of Quentins to the screen after all; especially as she is also forced to confront a devastating dilemma from her own past.

One of my favourite Maeve Binchy books, although I'm glad I had read "Scarlet Feather", "Evening Class" and "Tara Road" first, as it references all of those books.

I enjoyed all the stories featuring Quentins, but was happy that Maeve Binchy had decided to tie it all together using Ella's story, rather than just leaving it at those small vignettes. I'm not that good with short stories, and prefer to have some common factor tie them all together.
