A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Millions of people travel on London's tube every day yet we usually only give our fellow passengers a cursory glance. But Maeve Binchy manages to infuse these nameless people with absorbing stories to provide an engrossing cross-section of London life.

From Green Park to Brixton, from Shepherd's Bush to Chancery Lane, everyday life is not nearly as mundane as we might think! At Notting Hill, the mysterious secretary, harbouring her secrets, travels to work; at Highbury and Islington, Adam has a sudden change of heart; at Holborn, a disastrous reunion is about to take place.

With her characteristic mix of compassionate humour and biting realism, Maeve Binchy enters the lives of these various travellers with outstanding results.

'Reading these tales is like listening to someone talking: someone you very much want to hear.' Sunday Telegraph
