Summary: It's Okay
Review: What on earth possesses 30 Irish people to attend an evening class in Italian?

This was the first Maeve Binchy novel I've read, and it won't be the last. This meaty book tells the story of Nora, a Irish woman who has lived in Italy for 30 years. Nora returns home and begins to teach an evening class to 30 or so eager adults.

The book covers Nora's life, her reasons for living in Italy, and her reasons for returning. It seems that everyone enrolled in the class does so for a variety of excellent reasons--loneliness, self-improvement, boredom, ambition, etc. Binchy skillfully and gracefully intertwines the lives of the characters, and displays a rather generous, and forgiving view of human nature at the same time.
