Book Review: Evening class, by  Maeve Binchy      This week I read Evening class.The stage is Dublin, Ireland.  A night class will be held for adults, and Aiden, who has lived in Sicily for many years, will open an Italian language course.  The past and present of students who gather for various reasons are depicted as people who had no contact with them deepen their friendship through the course. I will introduce a quote from this book. The quote is “ And by the time the group sets off on the end-of-course trip to Italy, a surprising number of those hopes and dreams have come true - in some odd and unexpected ways.. .”   I thought this was a very dreamy sentence. I recommend this book because I felt happy while reading this book. Some characters who have different past get along with others, and the last, all of them happy ended. I think that whenever you want to improve something, you should do. Evening Class: A Novel 著者 : MaeveBinchy Dell 発売日 : 1998-03-09

The story in this book is a mystery where a student detective catches a robber.  During the summer vacation, Paul is the main character, who is supposed to work part-time at the museum. Paul is studying history and wants to work at the museum in the future.  The museum displays the history of the town using wax figures, but it is to help make this exhibit.  The very expensive exhibition arrives just the day Paul starts working.  A diamond necklace owned by the influential Gilbertson family. The necklace is stolen and Paul is suspected I wrote down two quotes and will discuss them. The first quote is “But it was  an important part of my plan to trap the thief, and I had to do it.”(p.42,L.21) I thought that Paul's determination, which was suspected of being a thief and angry, appeared. The second quote is “‘I’ll be back,’ I said, smiling.” This quote is a scene where I heard that Paul who
