The book goes back to her life in Sicily, her reasons for being there, and why she eventually leaves. In the second section we meet Signora, who is to become the Italian teacher. His wife and daughters are introduced, along with some other people who will appear later in the novel. The book is written from several perspectives, starting with the school teacher, explaining why he is unhappy, and how the idea of the evening class arose. Thirty students gather and become deeply involved in each other's lives. The main focus of the story is an Italian evening class, set up by a rather disillusioned school teacher, employing an Irish lady who has lived in Siciliy for many years. As with much of her work, the setting is Ireland.
