Quatrième de couverture

It is 1951, and on a fine spring morning the 8.45 from Bristol to Paddington is preparing to leave. Albert, the driver, says goodbye to his wife with mixed feelings. Their seeming inability to have a child has overshadowed their happy marriage. Jenny, clumsy but loveable, longs to make a success of her job in the restaurant car, but her tendency to get things wrong soon attracts the interest of Marvin, the steward. The passengers - some regulars on the line, others making a rare visit to London - settle down for the journey. Some talk and get to know each other, some while away the journey working or sleeping. But as they near their destination, disaster strikes...

In an instant, lives are changed and everyday concerns become trivial. In this dramatic new novel, bestselling author Susan Sallis relates how love and friendship blossom when strangers are brought together by tragedy.
