Tom is the son of a builder and his fanatically devout wife, both of whom are disappointed that he hasn't joined the family building firm. They thought the characters had fine moral fibre. Scarlet Feather is set in contemporary Dublin, and is the story of Cathy Scarlet and Tom Feather, who go into business together as caterers. Each and every one of them loved this book. Luckily, Binchy does a pretty good job of creating supporting characters who are interesting - a pair of nine-year-old twins Cathy's parents (working class, hard working, kind and fair) - but not really enough to sustain an almost 500 page novel.So, why did I give this book a decent review rating? The average age at the book club appears to be about 75. Unfortunately, I found both main characters to be completely unlikeable - uncommunicative, judgemental, childish. The book follows 'a year in the life' - their jobs, their relationships, their families.
