Question 6 of 6

EadieB I loved the book and all of the other books she wrote. I feel enriched by her writing and I am glad we read them all. I have a few other books that she wrote so I will be reading them also. 5y

ljuliel I really enjoyed the book. I liked the mix of characters and the storyline with Frankie . It was very good. 5y

cobwebmoth I enjoyed the book. I found this one to be very emotional. I'll definitely have to go back and read the books of hers that I missed. 5y

CoffeeNBooks I really liked this book! I'm looking forward to reading more of Maeve Binchy's books. 5y

Tove_Reads I felt like something was missing from the good old books of hers. Yes, great characters and all that, but I felt like she didn‘t let the reader know everything the reader should have known. 5y

Question 5 of 6

rubyslippersreads, TheBookHippie, JacqMac, cobwebmoth, Tove_Reads, CoffeeNBooks, EadieB, ljuliel

EadieB I don't think he should do a DNA test as he was chosen to be Frankie's father. I think Noel would still want to be in Frankie's life as the father even if the results came back that he was not the father. 5y

cobwebmoth I didn't think he should have the test done. He was Frankie's father because he was the one that loved and took care of her. 5y

CoffeeNBooks I don't think he should have done the test, but it seems like he wanted to know for sure that Frankie was his biological child. Maybe Moira's comment made him feel like she could take Frankie away more easily if he wasn't her biological parent. 5y

ljuliel Whoops. I missed a question. Just now saw it. I agree with Harper that he probably was just curious as to what it‘d say , but it wouldn‘t change his mind about wanting Frankie. 5y

Question 4 of 6

rubyslippersreads, TheBookHippie, JacqMac, cobwebmoth, Tove_Reads, CoffeeNBooks, EadieB, ljuliel

EadieB I really do not think that was Moira's place to question his fatherhood as Frankie's mom chose him as the father in order to take care of Frankie. 5y

ljuliel I wasn‘t much surprised. She always seemed to want to cause problems or dig up dirt on people. 5y

cobwebmoth It really irritated me that she made those comments. I wish she knew when to just be quiet. 5y

CoffeeNBooks @EadieB @ljuliel @cobwebmoth I agree with all of you! 5y

Question 3 of 6

rubyslippersreads, TheBookHippie, JacqMac, cobwebmoth, Tove_Reads, CoffeeNBooks, EadieB, ljuliel

EadieB I am not a big fan of Anton so I think he is getting what he deserves and it would be nice if Lisa could put a claim in as she helped him so much with his business. 5y

ljuliel I didn‘t like him throughout the book, so it was fine by me if he had difficulties . He got what he dished out. 5y

ljuliel And yes, Lisa helped him a lot, so he owed her something for all her time. 5y

cobwebmoth I think Anton got what was coming to him. Lisa deserved to be paid, but I understand her wanting to just get away from the situation. 5y

CoffeeNBooks I think Anton used Lisa, and was probably doing the same to April. It doesn't surprise me that he wasn't making money at his restaurant. He should have listened to Lisa more and April less. I'm surprised that Lisa didn't put in a claim, but I think she just wanted to be completely done with Anton. 5y

Question 2 of 6

rubyslippersreads, TheBookHippie, JacqMac, cobwebmoth, Tove_Reads, CoffeeNBooks, EadieB, ljuliel

EadieB I didn't really see the marriage between Hat and Emily but I do think it is the right decision for Emily as she is always doing everything for others to make them happy and now I feel like Emily will finally be happy too. 5y

ljuliel Yes, I sorta thought Emily would find someone and not be single forever. Then when they started dining together, etc, I thought it‘d end in romance. 5y

cobwebmoth I didn't expect this match, but I think they make a nice couple. 5y

CoffeeNBooks I didn't expect it, but it makes sense and I think they'll be happy. 5y

Question 1 of 6

rubyslippersreads, TheBookHippie, JacqMac, cobwebmoth, Tove_Reads, CoffeeNBooks, EadieB, ljuliel

EadieB I think they made the right decision as it was a lot of money to give towards the statue and it is better to spread the money around. 5y

ljuliel Yes, I thought it was a sensible plan, so others could enjoy part of it also n 5y

cobwebmoth I think so. It let them do what they wanted and it could help their family. 5y

CoffeeNBooks I think they made the right decision- they're going to be able to help a lot of people. 5y

ljuliel Yes ... I wish he would‘ve gotten a bigger role in her books. He seemed such a likable fellow. 5y

Andrew65 Wow! What a Chapter, so well written had me. 😢😭😭 He does have a bigger role in Scarlet Feather if you haven‘t read it @Ljuliel . This was published the year Maeve died so I did wonder if she knew she was dying when she wrote this. If so even braver to write this chapter. (edited) 5y

EadieB Yes Maeve did a great job handling Muttie's death. Amazing if she knew she was dying at the time she wrote this. 5y

CoffeeNBooks Poor Muttie. That was so sad. @Andrew65 I put Scarlet Feather on my TBR list, and now I want to read it sooner than later! 5y

Andrew65 @CoffeeNBooks It is a good one, you learn more about the twins and their past in that book too. 5y

cobwebmoth Yes, but it was so sad.😢 Muttie was so likable. 5y

ljuliel I‘ve started Scarlet Feather but it was a bit challenging to get into the story. I‘m not much interested in cooking and running a restaurant , so it sorta bogged me down. I‘ll have to push past that to get to the other stories, as all of Maeve‘s books have. 5y

Andrew65 @ljuliel Hope you enjoy the rest of it. 5y

Tove_Reads It was sad that she chose to kill him off. There was no need for that, but the authors do what they do. 5y

ljuliel No, I was freaking out just like everyone in the book was ! 5y

Andrew65 I couldn‘t work out where she could be. Assumed one of the Group arrived at the house and took her with them but couldn‘t work out who or why. 🤔😳 5y

EadieB I couldn't image who Frankie was with either. Vey scary! 5y

CoffeeNBooks I thought there must have been some sort of miscommunication, but I didn't know what could have happened to her. 5y

cobwebmoth I thought that she must have been left in one of the houses, but I hadn't guessed further than that. 5y

Question 4 of 6

rubyslippersreads, TheBookHippie, JacqMac, cobwebmoth, Tove_Reads, CoffeeNBooks, EadieB, ljuliel

ljuliel Not really. She seems to have a bit of a problem removing her job from people‘s personal private lives. I think she‘d be more effective if she could separate the 2 , and judge the cases by how she can professionally help. 5y

CoffeeNBooks I think maybe she should find someone else to take his case if she feels too personally involved. 5y

cobwebmoth I don't think she should feel guilty. He made his own choices that led him to this point. 5y

Andrew65 No reason for her to feel guilty, that part of his life was already over. 5y

Andrew65 @CoffeeNBooks I agree, she should have handed it over to someone else for personal reasons. (edited) 5y

EadieB No she shouldn't feel guilty and I agree that maybe she should find someone else to take his case. 5y

Tove_Reads No. He made his own choices. 5y
