The bus from Dublin to Limerick has never meant much to the inhabitants of Kilbrody, until a woman steps off it, marches into the pub, and drinks herself into oblivion. When she finally wakes up, several days later, it is to discover that Charlie Finn (who put her to bed), the local garda, and indeed the whole village are talking about her. Who is the woman on the bus? The question is, will she tell them?

Pauline McLynn was winner of Best Comedy Actress on British TV in 1996 for her role as Mrs. Doyle in the BAFTA award winning comedy series Father Ted.©2014 Audible, Inc. (P)2014 Audible, Inc. Romance Funny Feel-Good

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

First time audio book and thoroughly enjoyable, made me laugh out loud lying on the beach! Pauline McLynn reading her own book is a real treat.

What does Pauline McLynn bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I can read a book in a day if I put my mind to it - but I read far too quickly and miss loads of detail and nuance. This is the first audio book and while I found it more difficult to concentrate for a while, I did get into it really quickly, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

hugely enjoyable first audio book experience

I absolutely LOVED this audiobook - its hilarious in parts, endearing, heartbreaking, shocking in others. The writing is "raw" and full of realism. The bonus for me is that it was full of long forgotten Irish sayings (and plenty of new ones!)

I am not sure how well this book will be appreciated (or understood, even, in parts) by people who are not Irish but judging from the reviews of others here, that may not be a valid concern.

For me, a thoroughly enjoyable book made doubly enjoyable by the fact that it was Pauline McLynn who read her book herself.

Fabulous listen

I did find it difficult to get into initially, but stick it out! totally worth the wait, the characters are so rich and likeable- I wish I could visit the village of Kilbrody in real life!

such wonderful characters

My first Audible experience and I'm loving it! The story is engrossing and the author reading it herself makes it come to life (I adore the Irish accent anyway).
Audible is a great idea and I'm already hooked, will probably extend my membership as one book a month will definitely not be enough!

Great!
