At the tables of a busy Dublin café, all life is shared - but some stories should never be told.
'Binchy at her very best ... one of the most stunning feel-good endings I can remember' Mail on Sunday
'Absorbing and delightful' Elizabeth Buchan, Sunday Times

'For anyone who likes good storytelling ... it is like being reunited with old friends' Sunday Express

Every table at Quentins restaurant in Dublin has a thousand stories to tell. The staff and customers all have tales of their own, and the restaurant owners themselves have had more than their fair share of trials to cope with.

Now Ella Brady wants to make a documentary about the renowned restaurant but as she uncovers more of what has gone on, she questions the wisdom of bringing it to the screen. And when she is forced to confront a devastating dilemma in her own life, Ella wonders if some stories should not be told . . .

Maeve Binchy was born in County Dublin and educated at the Holy Child convent in Killiney and at University College, Dublin. After a spell as a teacher she joined the Irish Times.

Several have been adapted for cinema and television, including TARA ROAD. Maeve Binchy received a LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD at the BRITISH BOOK AWARDS in 1999 and the Irish PEN/A. T.
