|comment= I noticed this title - which is one I read a few years ago.
I don't remember all about it, but what stands out in my memory is the humour, and the warmth of it

I was struck by your comment about how you had forgotten all the twists and turns in Evening Class when you came to read it again. I had a similar experience with Tara Road, which I was planning to give away/sell on eBay as it was a hardback in VGC. However, my puppy got hold of it and chewed the corners, so thought I would read it again before chucking it. I just cannot remember what happens to the main character Ria Lynch, and yet it's not a sign of bad writing. I remember Ria well, just not what happened to her. Binchy somehow casts a storytelling spell on the reader, so you page-turn once, then again, and again.
