The lilac-coloured minibus belongs to Tom Fitzgerald. 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. This book conjures up a cast of human characters with real joys and real sadnesses, portrayed with compassion and warmth.
