In <I>Evening Class,</I> Binchy zooms in on the working-class of Dublin. Schoolteacher Aidan Dunne organizes an evening class in Italian with the help of Nora O'Donoghue, an Irishwoman returning home after 26 years in Sicily. When the somewhat squashed-by-life denizens of the surrounding neighborhood take the unexpected step of enrolling in the class, they find their lives transformed. <P> Binchy tells her story from the viewpoints of eight different characters and rewards both them and her readers with happy endings after the requisite rocky road. Reading a novel by Maeve Binchy is like catching up with old friends--you know everything will turn out fine in the end, but you're still interested in how things get that way. 1004459 1996 Evening Class total:3359|5:737|4:1318|3:1085|2:202|1:17| 3359 12633 3973 204 3 2 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Tue Mar 04 19:31:25 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 10 07:24:00 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 2 false false Sun Aug 03 22:13:23 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 03 22:18:37 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Oct 28 21:34:29 -0700 2007 Sun Oct 28 21:43:11 -0700 2007 more...]]> 1 1 false false Thu Dec 25 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 25 23:32:08 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 25 23:37:06 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon May 21 06:47:47 -0700 2007 Mon May 21 06:48:23 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Aug 04 18:02:51 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 18:11:41 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sat Feb 14 08:22:29 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 08:23:48 -0800 2009 4 1 false true Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Fri Feb 20 18:12:30 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 20 18:13:01 -0800 2009 4 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Sat Jul 05 05:29:44 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 05 05:45:38 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Wed Aug 05 08:14:57 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 08:17:24 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Oct 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 20:02:34 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 16:57:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jun 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 25 07:10:38 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 25 07:10:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Feb 05 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 12:04:39 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 12:13:15 -0800 2009 1 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Mar 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 12 11:46:46 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 19 07:59:27 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed May 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 14:20:02 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 14:25:23 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu May 14 20:51:48 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 20:55:30 -0700 2009 Dublin school.
