5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book to start you on the trail of becoming a fan., 3 Jun 2000
By A Customer
All Maeve Binchey's books make riveting reading, and this one is no exception. My best friend has not yet read any of her work, so I have given her this book to whet her appetite for the rest. 'The Lilac Bus' will make you laugh and cry, as usual with Miss Binchey, and you will be very sorry when you have come to the end - again, as usual with Miss B. Try 'Evening Class' next, another gem.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely, 19 Feb 2007
This review is from: Lilac Bus (Paperback)
I loved this book! I did think it was a tad short, but then I do like to know what happens next and next and next!
Your heart will definately go out to some of the characters as you discover why they are the way they are and how some of them have kept their secrets for years!
Certainly recomended as an introduction to Maeve Binchy, once you have read one, your hooked on them all!

By L Murphy (Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lilac Bus (Paperback)
This is a very good read, it contains the usual Binchy humour and is like all her books very witty. Well recommended.
