I read tons and tons of Maeve Binchy's books when I was in my late 20's and pregnant with my oldest daughter. I would have all day nausea and her novels with their well-drawn characters and easy-to-digest plots would help me forget my poor tummy. I thought she had retired and was really happy to find that she is still writing and quite prolifically....BUT, I must say I don't remember her beings so morally relativistic in her storylines...She seems to have an axe to grind with the Catholic church

After finishing Maeve Binchy's latest novel "Heart and Soul" I went back and reread "Scarlet Feather". I really enjoy her writing and this is one of my favorites.

This Binchy book was fun. Had negative stuff happen, but then "happy ending."
