So when it was apparent that they weren’t willing to immerse themselves in each other’s lives, it wasn’t going to work for long. I never really believed that love is enough to keep any relationship going. They wanted different things out of life and the only thing that really tied them together was their love for each other. And when it happened, I felt no sense of loss over Cathy’s marriage to Neil, or Tom’s gorgeous Marcella. So all the while, I was waiting for the event that would signal their separation. So I knew that Cathy was eventually going to divorce Neil, and Marcella and Tom would cease to be a couple.
Forgive me for this spoiler (stop reading if you’d rather read of the outcome instead), but in the other books, Tom and Cathy were not only business partners but romantic partners as well. One thing was certain though, both Cathy and Tom were in loving relationships with their respective partners.
In the beginning of the story, we met a cast of characters that are as diverse as a bag of nips. But I do want to be a better baker and maybe make a living through it. No, I have no dreams of cooking and catering lavish parties. I especially love that they are in the food business. I like that they are doing something that they both love and have such passion for.
I like both Cathy and Tom because they didn’t give up on their dream of setting up the best catering gig in town. It’s nice to have this specific novel really focus on Tom and Cathy this time around. I also read Quentins but didn’t seem to have written about it), and at least in Tara Road, I remember Scarlet Feather making an appearance. I am a Maeve Binchy fan and I have read a number of her novels (read my reactions to Tara Road, and Circle of Friends. It is only in this book though that their characters were really introduced. Cathy Scarlet and Tom Feather were, by the time I read this book, familiar characters to me already.
