The Lilac Bus by Maeve Binchy features two novellas The Lilac Bus and Dublin 4. In The Lilac Bus, Binchy tells the interwoven and stories of 8 people who take the Lilac Bus from Dublin home to the town of Rathdoon every Friday night. Nancy, Kev, Mikey, Celia, Dee, Judy, Rupert, and Tom have very different lives and personalities, but for several hours they come together on the bus, which is indeed lilac-colored. I liked Celia and Tom's stories the best.
Dublin 4 features four short stories about the quotidien desperation and bravery of Dubliners.
