  <default_description>Is it possible to tell the story of a generation and a city through the history of a restaurant? 

Ella Brady thinks so. She wants to film a documentary about Quentins that will capture the spirit of Dublin from the 1970s to the present day. And Quentins has a thousand stories to tell: tales of love, of betrayal, of revenge; of times when it looked ready for success and times when it seemed as if it must close in failure. But as Ella uncovers more of what has gone on at Quentins, she begins to wonder whether some secrets should be kept that way... 

With Quentins, Maeve Binchy follows her bestselling Scarlet Feather with a new book that delivers the hallmark storytelling that has kept millions of her readers happy for more than twenty years.

    <body><![CDATA[4.5 Star.  Scarlet Feather is the first book that Maeve Binchy uses to intertwine with future books Quentins, Night of Rain &amp; Stars, as well as Whitethorn Woods and Heart &amp; Soul.  All of the books are very good on their own as well as a pseudo-series, since they are not sequels, but a carryover of c...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74308318">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A book club selection for this month. I had never read any of Binchy's books and I enjoyed this one. I like &quot;people&quot; books and so I liked the individual stories that were included along with the main story. This is one of those books that you hate to see end as you have become so found of ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43041374">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Maeve Binchy crafts a beautiful story centered on the restaurant Quentins. As a food lover and a deep believer in the power of sharing a meal to bring people together, I was fascinated at how all the characters' lives intersect at this restaurant. It is perhaps a tad formulaic, but a charming story ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69483542">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Classic Binchy.  She has a way of writing a story that includes the lives of so many characters and has a way of intertwining them in such a heartwarming way.  The ending was a bit of a downer - it seemed Maeve just ran out of steam.  A great vacation - sittin on the beach - read though.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This got a 2 instead of a 1, because, for some reason, I was compelled to finish it instead of abandoning it.  I'll give it to Maeve -- she tells a good story. And I've enjoyed other of her books more than this one. However, the cliches and overall bad writing in Quentins were almost unbearable. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Just an easy reading book about a restaurant and all the people who have been there and the things that happened in their lives in this or because of the restaurant. Sound borring, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Was my first maeve binchy book - I will definitely be looking for more. ]]></body>
