Irish writer and journalist Maeve Binchy (1940–2012) achieved international fame with the publication of her first novel, Light a Candle. Binchy's books have been translated into dozens of languages and adapted into films, with a combined circulation of over 40 million copies. Readers' favorites include Quentin, a novel about an old Dublin restaurant that mirrors the lives of its residents—where people meet, fall in love, quarrel, make up, strike business deals, and launch bold projects.

The disappearance of her beloved man devastated more than just Ella's heart. Her family's savings were also gone, so no matter how painful and upsetting it may be, there's no time to shed tears: she needs to think about earning a living. She comes up with the idea of making a documentary about the popular Quentin restaurant, whose history dates back to the 1960s. With luck, she might even secure a grant for the filming, and maybe even win a prize at a film festival. Ella immerses herself in the work, but the more she learns about what has happened at Quentin over the decades, the more she doubts whether she should reveal all its secrets to the public.
