  • ""Every Friday night young Ron 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. 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 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 chance for new dreams to be realized" - Cover verso."@en

  • ""The Lilac Bus" consists of eight connected stories, each one a revealing portrait of a Dublin worker who goes home to the outlying town of Rathdoon each weekend in Tom Fitzgerald's minibus. Torn between the anonymous independence of Dublin and the claustrophobic safety of Rathdoon, many characters lead secretive double lives: Dee has a married lover, Rupert is gay, Kev is a thief. The more fully realized stories in "Dublin 4" have only their Dublin setting in common. Hard hitters dealing with alcoholism, unwed pregnancy, and an unfaithful husband are lightened by the humorous "Flat in Ringsend" about a young girl's stab at independence in her first flat."@en
