Another good book by this author. Still not one of my favourites.

Back Cover Blurb:
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 to Dublin to spend the weekend in Rathdon. Each one has an inner life unknown to those fellow passengers. ( )

Read this in my book group a year ago to help celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Some of the characters were interesting and could have lead to something bigger but in the end, well there really was no ending. It didn't come together. Seemed all slammed together these short stories. We were left hanging. One copy came with I think it was titled Dublin 44 and one member hoped that that was a sequel and would answer our questions but it wasn't and it didn't.

The Destination...Rathdoon is the kind of Irish village where family histories are shared and scandals don't stay secret for long. And this weekend, when the bus pulls in, the riders find the unexpected waiting for them...as each of their 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...
