I
want to take an Evening Class! April 28, 2000 Reviewer:
Dianna Wilmoth (from Miami), OK This was my first Maeve Binchy novel,
and I have to say it was absolutely incredible! I LOVED the way
she intertwined1 the students' lives. After reading this
novel, I couldn't wait to try another one of her books – I went straight to the bookstore and
purchased nine of her previous works! 1

review March 27, 2000 Reviewer:
Ana Maria Barrenechea Maeve Binchy has a
special gift for setting up plots that have you totally engrossed1
in them. In this case, I
could almost feel the loneliness and pain that Nora feels when she has
to return to her native country. Just to feel close to her previous
life, she turns to teaching her favorite language, Italian. Great plot, great characters that
you learn to love and hate. It will keep you up at night just thinking
what may happen to them! 1

book from which I learned. November 24, 1999 Reviewer:
Philinda Stern Gruen from California, USA I very much enjoyed Evening Class,
my third Binchy book. As a teacher myself, I saw how another
one was so dedicated1 and enthusiastically effective.
According to her bio, Binchy herself was a Latin teacher. I learned
from the various characters as well: the showing of love for Mario,
and the backbone of Constanza. The only character that puzzled me was
Nell Dunne. She seemed to be not the least upset that her marriage was
ending, that she was entirely alone, and that she would have only half
the house to which she was accustomed. 1
dedicated = engagiert ... Maeve Binchy is becoming one of my
favorite authors. Evening Class is the 4th Binchy book I have
read, but it is not the typical Binchy book compared to Circle of
Friends, Glass Lake and Echoes. I was left not really knowing the
characters. Because there were so many characters, Binchy was not able
to fully develop them. The storytelling part of the book is very
grand. Binchy is truly a master to interweave1 so many
characters together. My next one will be Light a Penny Candle! 1

A reader from New York This is the third book by Maeve
Binchey I have read. The first two were collections of
enjoyable short stories. What a nice suprise "Evening Class"
was. I thought it was brilliant the way the author told very unique
tales about unique individuals while finding a way to tie all of them
together in one masterful tale. 1
