Publisher's summary

The Italian evening class at Mountainview School is like hundreds of others starting up all over the city. But this class has its own special quality - as the focus for the varied hopes and dreams of teacher and pupils alike.

Aidan Dunne needs his new evening class project to succeed almost as much as his pupils do. They too are looking for something more: Bill to find a way to keep spendthrift Lizzie at his side and Fran to make sure that young Kathy finds her way out from behind the kitchen sink.

The key to their success lies with the signora. Her passion has drawn her from Ireland to Italy and back home again with a burning desire to share her love of all things Italian - and a secret hidden in her heart ....

Enchanting

Beautiful! Like listening to a friend. I'd read the book years ago but wanted to experience the book in an Irish accent - it fulfilled every expectation.

Totally enthralling

Would you listen to Evening Class again? Why?

Wonderful story, lots of different lives all entwined

What did you like best about this story?

The different families and their stories with a good story line

Have you listened to any of Kate Binchy’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes I have read several others but this was definitely my favourite

If you could rename Evening Class, what would you call it?

I think the title was perfect

Any additional comments?

With the back drop of Italy this made it perfect for me. It inspired me to get lessons in Italian
