Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
Maeve Binchy can always be counted on to spin an involving tale about ordinary people that brings out the extraordinary in everyone. In Evening Class, Binchy zooms in on the working-class of Dublin. Schoolteacher Aidan Dunne organises 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 neighbourhood take the unexpected step of enrolling in the class, they find their lives transformed.
Binchy tells her story from the viewpoints of eight different characters and rewards both them and us with happy endings after the requisite rocky road. Listening to 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. Kate Binchy's light and lilting voice shifts effortlessly to capture the essence of both major and minor characters. Her Italian pronunciation is entirely credible and her reading brings an extra dimension to this charming story. --Sarah Crawford -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Hörkassette .

Sehr zu empfehlen! Einfach eine schöne Geschichte! Es spielt in Irland, ein Mann hat die Möglichkeit einen Abendkurs für italienisch einzurichten, er findet eine Lehrerin und es finden sich genügend Kursteilnehmer. Von den meisten Kursteilnehmer, der Lehrerin und dem Leiter des Kurses wird die Geschichte erzält wie sie zu dem Kurs kommen und in welcher Verbindung sie zu den anderen Leuten stehen.
Es ist das erste Buch von Maeve Binchy, daß ich gelesen habe und bin wirklich begeistert. Das englisch ist auch nicht besonders schwer. Auf jedenfall zu empfehlen!

I came across this book at a second hand book market and just started to read it, because I had nothing else to do in my holidays. But in the end I got pulled into the book. It's really amazing how well you get to know the characters while reading! When I had finished it, I caught myself sitting in the tram, watching people and thinking "Well, this is what Signora would look like".
"Evening Class" is a rather quiet book but it is also a page turner - it's exciting to see how everything finally gets sorted out in the characters lifes.
And what amazed me most is how Meave Binchy relates the characters to each other - it feels like Dublin is actually a village in which all peoples' lifes are closely entwined.

This was my first Maeve Binchy book---both this title and the author was recommended by a friend. I enjoyed the book very much. I would call this light reading with a happy ending for all. There are a lot of characters (maybe a few too many)that are easy to like and sympathize with. The only criticism I have is that a couple of them seem a little one-faceted, and the storyline of Signora I felt to be too implausible. (What woman would really follow her lover home to Italy just to be near him, content to watch him and his wife and children from a room across the street for twenty years until he died? ) But all in all, this is a good book to check out from the library.

Binchy's books are always a great and comfortable read, full of chat and colloquisms from Ireland. I loved this book, and found it all plausible and entertaining right up until the... Lesen Sie weiter...

Highly disappointing
I thought this would be a good summertime read. Initially it was. The characters are fleshed out well and their lives intersect in often interesting ways. Lesen Sie weiter...

Evening Classes
This was my first Maeve Binchy novel, I loved the way she intertwined the students' lives. After reading this novel, I can't wait to try another one of her books.

My review
Maeve Binchy has a special gift for setting up plots that have you totally engrossed in them.
In this case, I could almost feel the loneliness and pain that Nora feels when she... Lesen Sie weiter...

This was a drag at times
This book had so many characters, some interesting, some not. I enjoyed reading about Fiona, Lou & Connie & but not Signora or Laddy. Lesen Sie weiter...
