EVENING CLASS

by Maeve Binchy

ORION PUBLISHING GROUP | May 2, 1997 | Trade Paperback

Irish-born Maeve Binchy is a teacher turned newspaper columnist turned novelist. She was born in Dublin on May 28, 1940. Her father was a lawyer and her mother a nurse. She received her B.A. in 1960 from University College in Dublin. After teaching at a school for girls, she became a columnist for the Irish Times in 1968. By 1979, Binchy was writing plays, a successful television script, and several short story collections. Her first novel, Light a Penny Candle (1982), was a Literary Guild Dual Selection. Two of her novels, Silver Wedding (1989) and Circle of Friends (1991), have been Book-of-the-Month Club selections. Currently, there are more than six million copies of her books in print. Binchy's novels are usually set in rural Ireland, where Binchy seems to capture the dynamics of life and relationships in small towns. A Circle of Friends, successfully translated into a popular film, is the coming-of-age story of three young women in 1950s Dublin. Binchy lives in a suburb of Dublin.

    Great Quick Read

    Although I wasn't totally into this novel, I just could not put it down. The characters were so well introduced, each with surprises that you were not expecting. It was amazing that in a book with so many characters, you knew each one so intimately, and cared for each one of them as well. Great, quick read for me. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    This is just a wonderful book. It centers around a group of adults who get together for evening classes in order to learn Italian. Through their weekly sessions, we get a marvelous glimpse into their lives in Dublin. Maeve Binchy has a wonderful knack for developing characters and storylines. I would recommend this book to anyone.
