A review by marymollyc
Evening Class by Maeve Binchy

3.0

3.5 if I could. I've read practically every other book by Maeve Binchy, so this wasn't my first time meeting Aidan and Nora (and Aidan's children), but admittedly they've always been my least favourite characters in the wider ensemble. I found their story in 'Heart and Soul' the least interesting, and while Aidan is lovely I cannot stick how prideful he gets. Still, it was nice to get the background on them. I would like to have learned more about how his marriage with Nell really fell apart, and there were lots of other threads left hanging from the other characters. Not every book needs to be wrapped up neatly in a bow, but Maeve Binchy books are my comfort novels and I would have liked things to be a little tidier.
