Query: Binchy keeps up with the times...

As a big fan of Maeve Binchy, I was pleasantly surprised by her latest book. Quentins is skillful fiction; Binchy's changing Ireland is populated by characters facing modern dilemmas. The women of Binchy's earlier "village" novels have been supplanted by new heroines who recognize the importance of making one's own pedigree, to borrow the words of Cathy Scarlet. I really find the evolution of the film to be the most compelling part of the plot-- the anecdotes about everyone's lives as part of Quentins are tightly laced, as per classic Binchy, and the tension ratchets up as the stakes are raised in everyone's lives. The people of Quentins are various but remain very ordinary and human; their mistakes and pecadilloes are recognizable and smart. Keep writing, Binchy... we'll keep reading.
