You have Binchy tackling marital rape (still rape), adultery, and theft. That said, I thought that some of the character stories in this one were pretty adult. It's like a very nice present you get each book. I likened her a bit to Rosamunde Pilcher who returns to the same characters or references them in her other books. At this time I have been reading about the same characters for more than a dozen years. There is something so homey with these books. Over the Thanksgiving holiday I enjoyed re-reading this book, Heart & Soul, and This Year it Will Be Different. I decided this year I will aim to at least post reviews for all of the books that I have read. I tend to go back again and again to my tried and true Binchy novels. So I apologize in advance for not reviewing these books in the order of publication. From the New York Times bestselling author of This Year It Will Be Different, The Glass Lake, and Circle of Friends, comes a novel filled with Maeve Binchy's signature warmth, wit, and sheer storytelling genius-a spellbinding tale of men and women whose quiet lives hide the most unexpected things.
And Signora, whose passionate past remained a secret as she changed all their lives forever.
glowering Lou, who joined the class as a cover for crime. Connie, the gorgeous rich lady with a scandal ready to explode. Kathy, a hardworking innocent propelled into adulthood in a shocking moment of truth. bank clerk Bill and his dizzy fiance Lizzie: a couple headed for trouble. But Aidan's dream was headed for disaster until the mysterious Signora appeared, transforming a shared passion for Italy into a life-altering adventure for them all. It was Latin teacher Aidan Dunne's last chance to revive a failing marriage and a dead-end career. They came together at Mountainview College, a down-at-the-heels secondary school on the seamy side of Dublin, to take a course in Italian. That's where the real passion was lurking.
