Product Description
Teri is searching for Mr Right. She's been through Mr Lazy, Mr Greedy, Mr Completely Selfish and Mr Downright Pervert - but, as yet, no Mr Wonderful. That is, of course, until she is literally knocked off her feet by Jamie Duncan, as they rush to catch their train home from Euston station: the18.07 from platform 8. Soon love blossoms and commuting takes on a whole new meaning. But one thing that can't be ignored is that, as well as being Mr Right, Jamie is also Mr Married...
From the Author
Brief Encounter for today!
Let's Meet on Platform 8 is my first novel. It follows the ups and downs of modern love and the temptation of infidelity and will strike a chord with anyone who has ever fallen for the wrong person. Haven't we all! It features strong, warm characters who I hope readers will empathise with as they struggle to do the right thing. The setting is based on my experiences of commuting when I worked as a secretary in London and serves to illustrate that you don't have to be on a palm-fronded beach to fall in love. Unfortunately, I never did meet anyone quite as gorgeous as Jamie!

Format:Paperback
I loved this book. I expected it to be a bit of easy reading for bedtime, you know the type, not much substance but a bit of a time-filler to lull me to sleep....how wrong I was! This book is one of the best I have read in a long time, there were no "Boring bits" to skim over (and believe me, I find that many books have these) and I found it gripping as I agonised with the characters over the dilemma's they faced. I truly did not know which character to side with and by the end of the book I was nearer to tears than I have been in a long time (due to a book anyway!) Fantastic, funny and at the same time, rather sad.

Let's Meet on Platform 8 materfully combines humour and poignancy - the story is both lighthearted and deep. As a one-time commuter to an area of London close to Euston station the scenes jumped off the page for me and brought back many memories. The plot is sensitively told - a refreshing change from the usual depiction of extra-marital affairs - Teri was no self-centred sordid 'bit on the side' for Jamie. The characters are real people I can easily identify with. The momentum of witty humour was sustained throughout the book. I look forward to reading more of Carole Matthew's work

Carole Matthew's touched more than one raw nerve in the pages of this touching book. Teri finally finds the man of her dreams, literally collides with him, trouble is his wife found him first. She begins a commuting relationship that leads further. The story allows you to see all sides of the equation, Teri, single and lonely, Jamie who thought he had a happy marriage until he started to question it and Claire, Teri's best friend and casualty of her husbands infidelity. Thats not to mention Jamies wife. If you have ever been a party in this situation you will identify with the feelings of the characters, if not then you will get an accurate insight. As this is not my normal choice of reading I was pleasantly surprised. A book does not need to be hard to read to be worth reading. Very enjoyable.

Disappointing - I expected too much or at least a bit of passion!
I bought this book because it had such good reviews. With hindsight I suppose I expected too much especially as I have never been a fan of 'Brief Encounter'. Read more
