The first novel in 'The Dublin Trilogy', 'The Commitments', introduces us to the McGarry family and their friends. Jimmy Rabbitte, the eldest McGarry sibling, is a music fanatic who dreams of starting a soul band. With the help of his mates, he recruits a group of talented but inexperienced musicians and forms The Commitments. Despite their lack of experience, The Commitments quickly become a local sensation, playing to packed houses and earning a reputation for their raw energy and infectious enthusiasm.

However, as The Commitments rise to fame, tensions within the band begin to emerge. Jimmy's authoritarian leadership style clashes with the egos of his bandmates, and the group threatens to implode. Ultimately, it is Jimmy's love of music that holds The Commitments together, and they eventually achieve their dream of playing at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival.

The Van (1989)

The second novel in 'The Dublin Trilogy', 'The Van', follows the story of Bimbo McGarry, Jimmy's younger brother. Bimbo is a kind-hearted and gentle soul, but he is also trapped in a dead-end job and a loveless marriage.

At first, Bimbo's business is a success, and he begins to find some happiness and fulfillment in his life. However, tragedy strikes when his beloved van is stolen.
