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 ....

Character filled story
A light hearted read, great to pack when going on holidays and when you want to lift the mood. Learn about such different characters are brought together by an Italian class.

A journey from Ireland to Italy
This is a great Maeve Binchy novel -- full of her usual cast of fascinating and varied characters who are somehow also completely believable.
The structure is unusual in that it's told 'by character'; one chapter each for 'Signora', 'Luigi', 'Constanza' and so on. Initially, this grates when you get to a character you're not particularly interested in, but with Maeve's story-telling skill you're soon drawn in to the lives of even the characters who aren't your favourites. In my view, this is one of Maeve's most beautiful love stories, and it's heart-warming to see Aidan and Nora getting a second chance at happiness after a tragic beginning on each side. If you need a pick-me-up, feel-good sort of audiobook, then this is a great place to start. You can also follow Aidan and Nora through other Maeve novels later on -- Scarlet Feather, Heart and Soul and Minding Frankie all update the reader on how our favourite pair are getting on!

It’s never too late to find a new love
A gorgeous weaving of stories that show the loneliness and wretchedness we all feel as humans offset by the most enduring power of all, hope. And love. Maeve is an expert and the narration is superb!
