Description
Each weekend, a lilac-colored minibus carries a varied group of Dublin commuters three hours west to their hometown of Rathdoon, bringing them together even as their private lives remain largely hidden from one another. Through a series of interwoven perspectives, the novel explores the passengers’ relationships, ambitions, disappointments, and the contrasting identities they maintain in the city and at home. With her trademark warmth, wit, and keen observation, Maeve Binchy creates a richly human portrait of community, secrecy, class, and the enduring pull of the places—and people—we leave behind.
