I quite enjoyed this book - each chapter tells the story of one of the passengers that usually take the Lilac bus from Dublin to Rathdoon ... and in the end, the story of Tom, the bus driver (the best one !)

Amazon.co.uk synopsis:
The lilac-coloured minibus belongs to Tom. Each Friday night it is a meeting place for the same seven people who use it to travel home from Dublin to spend the weekend in Rathdoon. Each one has an inner life unknown to those fellow passengers.
