"Bluebird charts a night in the life of London mini-cab driver Jimmy McNeill. We share with him a night of his fares -- the despondent and delirious, the inspired, inspiring and insane. Jimmy is a surprising cabbie: a writer fallen from grace, an amateur philosopher, a man of real soul. He treats his customers with amusement and compassion; he fields their questions, hears their stories and touches their lives with as much grace as he can muster. And every fare chips away at the heart of Jimmy's past. Exactly five years ago tonight, Jimmy's life was changed forever. And tonight he is on a mission to atone."--Back cover.
