"Whatever made us think that a catering business had anything to do with producing food?" asks the exasperated heroine of Maeve Binchy's tale. Cathy Scarlet and her partner Tom Feather dream of opening their own catering firm after college. When the perfect location becomes available on New Year's Eve, they dive into renovations, ignoring the owner's odd eagerness to sell. However, they soon discover that pursuing their dream requires much more than just culinary skills. As they navigate the challenges of starting a small business, they manage clients' fragile egos, plan a fairy-tale wedding, and care for two charming children reminiscent of Dickens' characters, all while creating exquisite dishes that delight Dublin. Binchy weaves a rich tapestry of relationships, introducing a cast as compelling as Tom and Cathy: Neil, Cathy's activist-lawyer husband, often preoccupied with global issues; Marcella, Tom's aspiring model girlfriend; and the endearing Maud and Simon, Neil's neglected cousins who bring both chaos and insightful questions. With a diverse mix of clients, family, and friends, the story unfolds, highlighting how Tom and Cathy's work parallels that of a novelist, shaping pivotal life events. By year's end, they will all undergo significant transformations, inviting readers into yet another beautifully crafted world by Binchy.
