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. Maeve Binchy's vibrant characters, with all their joys and sadness, are brilliantly brought to life by Kate Binchy.(P)2000 Orion Publishing Group Ltd Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Short Stories Women's Fiction Ireland
