About this listen

 Every Friday night, the same seven Dublin workers meet to travel home in Tom Fitzgerald's lilac-coloured minibus. Each of them needs to return regularly to Rathdoon: Nancy Morris, a real 'Miss Mouse', is known for her meanness and has to escape her flatmate's carping; Dee Burke is engrossed in her affair; Kev Kennedy has a side to his character hidden even from his family; Celis Ryan has to face her mother making a drunken exhibition of herself - and Tom has his reasons.

'Touching, gossipy and as warming as a feather bed' Sunday Telegraph

Enjoyed this but it was over too soon. Just felt I was getting to know the characters with so much left in the air. Will look for a sequel.

Good start
