The Lilac Bus by Maeve Binchy

Each Friday, Tom Fitzgerald drives the same people home from Dublin to spend the weekend in Rathdoon. Nancy, Dee, Kev and Celia - each has their own secret story, unknown to their fellow passengers. And of course Tom himself has his own reasons for returning home so regularly...

A little different, not a full story and not a collection of stories but each chapter is about one of the occupants of the Lilac Bus which takes them from their home village of Rathodoon on on a Sunday evening to Dublin (where they all work in different jobs), then home again on a Friday evening.

Set around 1 weekend, their lives are changed from the Friday evening when they travel home, to when they go back on Sunday evening.

A nice light feel good read. Some surprises. Sort of about how nobody really knows everything about another person, even family.
