Book summary
Seven people travel from Dublin to Rathdoon each weekend aboard Ron Fitzgerald's small lilac-colored bus. Some make the journey for love, some out of duty, but all the reasons are compelling in this richly textured novel.
Publisher Notes
The Journey -- Every Friday night young Ron Fitzgeralds lilac-colored minibus leaves Dublin for the Irish country town of Rathdoon with seven weekend commuters on board. All of them, from the joking bank porter, Mikey Burns, who plays the buffoon while his brother makes a fortune in the family business, to the rich doctors daughter, Dee Burke, who is having a secret affair with a married man, have their reasons for making the journey. The Destination, Rathdoon, is the kind of Irish Village where family histories are shared and scandals dont stay secret for long. And this weekend, when Toms bus pulls in, the riders find the unexpected waiting for them... as each of their very private lives unfolds to reveal a sharp betrayal of the heart, a young man's crime, and chance for new dreams among the eight intriguing men and women on... The Lilac Bus.
From the bestselling author of Circle of Friends, a compelling story of contemporary Dublin characters tied together by their weekly trip aboard Tom Fitzgerald's lilac-colored bus. Includes Binchy's Dublin 4--a collection of stories about today's Ireland. "(Binchy is) a wonderful student of human nature".--The New York Times Book Review.
