Download Evening Class Audiobook

" Another sweet read. "

" Thank you, LucyAnn! I don't think I would have ever tried this one without such a strong recommendation from you!! Italy, Ireland, romance, intricate character interactions. It reminded be a bit of J. Archer, but without all the politics and nastiness. All the main characters are nice people trying to do their best. As they meet, many unexpectedly end up helping others. It has a very, very nice feel-good way with it! It would make a lovely Masterpiece Theatre mini-series. "

" Just kind of boring, and didn't really care what happened to the characters. "

" Evening Class was my first Maeve Binchy book. I'd just returned from Italy and was very interested in all things Italian. I found this book, somewhat by accident, at the library. Wow, what exceptional character development. She has become one of my two favorite authors and I've read almost everything she's written. "

" First book I've read by her. I enjoyed it and will read another by her. "

" This was fun in that it was about a group of people taking an evening Italian class, but otherwise the writing was pretty poor. "

" I love Maeve Binchy and Ireland! "

" I plodded through this book, hoping I'd start liking the characters, but never did. I thought the idea of the book was great, but did not care for the people in it. "

" Love the intersection of so many stories of people so unlikely to become close friends. But isn't that the way life works! so many connections, so many surprises "

" Written very simply and focused on each of the characters in turn, while not earthshaking, the plot is pleasantly intertwined and realistic enough. Good to help the brain relax. A really good example of the 'comfort read' genre. "

" OK story about an Irish lady living in a small Italian town and is the mistress to the man across the street. She returns to Ireland and teaches Italian having immeasurable impact on many lives. Strongly evokes a sense of place. "

" loved the first half of the book and then it became more or less ordinary. "

" A little bit of mystery and a little bit of suspense. Season it with love and every day lives and you have book to curl up with. "

" My favorite Maeve so far... "

" you can read my thoughts here. "

" Just a great feel good book. "

" I liked this book by Maeve Binchy, which I read probably 15 years ago now. "

" it was a nice diversion.... "

" I love anything by Maeve Binchy and although it wasn't as good as my favorites (4 star Copper Beech and Tara Road), it was still wonderful. Binchy has such a way with characters; they always just draw you into their lives, as if they were next-door neighbors. "

" I've read this book about 3 times. Just finished it again this weekend - it was by inbetween books book. "

" I liked this book as much as I liked her others. She has a way of writing that I can relate to. I think you can always find yourself in one of her characters. "

" This is a quick read for entertainment. The author weaves the lives of several characters. Overall interesting but not unbelievable. "

" For some reason this book seemed dull, like boring "

" Loved it. She one of my new favorite authors. I didn't think I would like how she switches from one character's story to another but within 2-3 pages of the new character I was hooked into their story. Also she is terrrific at intertwining stories soyou find out what happens to other characters. "

" My first Maeve Binchy book. I love the way she intertwined all the characters' stories. Can't wait to read more of her work. "

" Maeve Binchy books are very readible. Always like little short stories that in the end meld together. "

" My favorite Maeve Binchy novel so far. I loved the diverse characters in the story, a very fun book. "

" Many people come together in an Italian class and how their lives are connected. I loved it! Thanks Karen "

" I've read lots of Maeve Binchy books but this one is honestly my favorite. I cheered on nearly everyone in this book and fell in love with the sweetness of the story. I'd highly suggest this as a first read from this talented author. "

" Possibly one of the best books I've ever read. Excellent! "

" A little bit of mystery and a little bit of suspense. Season it with love and every day lives and you have book to curl up with. "

" I read this book a long time ago but I remember becoming surprisingly engaged with the characters. It's the reason I want to read more Maeve Binchy books. "

" This was an extremely good book. My mom gave it to me after i returned from studying in italy. The characters are entwined so well and bring the story together in a very poinant way "

" Another great book by Maeve! I love that she connects all of her characters.
"

" This was another hard to put down book for me. "

" This is the first Maeve Binchy book i have read and i fell in love with it.Its an amazing book and once you start you can't stop. "

" Love how she intertwines the characters!! "

" I enjoyed this very much. Read it back in 1999. Maeve Binchy is a favorite "comfort" writer. "

" True Maeve Binchy - easy to read, engaging characters, and it all comes together at the end! Good job! I want to take an Italian class now! "

" Very good book. I even managed to learn some Italian while reading it. "

" I will read this one again. I loved all the characters. "

" What a lovely novel! I am thoroughly in love with each and every character; I got so wrapped up in the story that I even lost track of some of the connections. I can give no higher praise! "
