With a new introduction by bestselling author Evie Woods.'Warm, witty and with a deep understanding of what makes us tick, it's little wonder that Maeve Binchy's bewitching stories have become world-beaters' OK MagazineThe 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...
Irlandskaja pisatelnitsa i zhurnalistka Mejv Binchi (1940-2012) khorosho izvestna ne tolko na svoej rodine, no i vo vsem mire. Peru Binchi, pomimo rasskazov, prinadlezhit bolee polutora desjatkov romanov, ee knigi neizmenno stanovilis bestsellerami i ne raz poluchali prestizhnye mezhdunarodnye premii. V 1970-kh godakh Binchi opublikovala tri sbornika rasskazov, i dovolno uspeshno, no nastojaschaja slava prishla k nej posle vykhoda pervogo romana "Zazhgi svechu" (1982). V romane "Aloe pero" Binchi snova "zastavljaet nas smejatsja, plakat i perezhivat vmeste s gerojami" (San Francisco Chronicle). Kto skazal, chto v takoj sfere, kak obschestvennoe pitanie, ne byvaet mechtatelej? Keti i Tom podruzhilis v kulinarnom kolledzhe i teper nadejutsja pokorit Dublin, sozdav kejteringovuju kompaniju "Aloe pero". Odnako ne vse razdeljajut ikh optimizm. Svekrov Keti ne odobrjaet ni samu nevestku, ni ee novoe "khobbi", v to vremja kak muzh Keti Nil nastolko zanjat rabotoj, chto ne obraschaet vnimanija na vse ostalnoe. U Toma svoi trudnosti. Ego semja ozhidaet, chto on pojdet po stopam ottsa, a ljubimaja devushka pogloschena sobstvennymi karernymi ambitsijami. Tomu i Keti predstoit perezhit neprostoj i vmeste s tem schastlivyj god - ikh ozhidajut vzlety i padenija, bol i radost, gorkie neudachi i vdokhnovennye pobedy...

Pigerne Benny og Eve vokser op i den lille irske by Knockglen. De to børn har et ubrydeligt venskab, men et mere umage par kan dårligt tænkes. Benny er det overbeskyttede enebarn, Eve er forældreløs og er blevet opdraget af nonnerne i den lille by. Da de to piger begynder på universitetet i Dublin, viser de snærende bånd til deres barndomsmiljø sig meget svære at bryde. Bennys forældre forlanger af lutter omsorg, at hun tager hjem til dem hver aften. De forstår ikke, at hun derved får svært ved at blive en del af studentermiljøet, og at hendes spirende kærlighed til universitetets hjerteknuser, Jack Foley, har vanskelige vilkår. Omkring de to piger kredser en lang række personer. Blandt andet den irsk-italienske Mario og den farverige Fonsie, der har planer om at omdanne Knockglen til en ´by med gang i´. Og Clodagh, der har store planer med sin tantes tøjforretning - samt Nan Mahon, den smukke, men beregnende storbypige, der har misforstået hele venskabsbegrebet.
Da Ria erfarer, at hendes mand har en ung, gravid elskerinde, falder hendes verden sammen. Hun bytter sit store hus på Tara Road i Dublin med Marilyn's i Connecticut, New England, og begge kvinder får en sommer med de mest uventede oplevelser
