Reviews

For all it's Gaelic gaiety there's a serious message here, and McLynn delivers it wth some style - Daily Mirror

'A deeply moving story. The Irish community is evoked in wonderfully lyrical passages and the dialogue is impossible to read without hearing lilting Irish accents... she is a gifted storyteller as well as an exceptional comic actress' Sunday Express - Sunday Express

'A stylishly written, hugely enjoyable journey into Maeve Binchy-Marian Keyes territory. Laugh out loud funny, THE WOMAN ON THE BUS also packs a serious heavyweight punch... All this and a tender love story too' Scotland on Sunday - Scotland on Sunday

It is her new novel, THE WOMAN ON THE BUS - upbeat, witty and with a cracking plot - that is going to mark Pauline as a writer of substance - Sunday Express
