Purchased at GW just for BCing.
From the cover:
"Every Friday night young Tom Fitzgerald's 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 doctor's daughter, Dee Burke, who is having a secret affair with a married man, have their reasons for making the journey.
Rathdoon is the kind of Irish village where family histories are shared and scandals don't stay secret for long. And this weekend, when Tom's 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 a chance for new dreams among the eight intriguing men and women on... The Lilac Bus
Plus a special bonus in this volume... Maeve Binchy's Dublin 4 tales - a truly unforgettable collection of stories about today's Ireland that captures the profound intimacy and drama of ordinary lives."

Very little happens in what is really a book of short stories. Binchy really concentrates on the people in her stories, the quiet drama of feelings and lives, generally, lived behind closed doors. Very easy reading.
