Format:Hardcover
The fallout of a rail accident sets in train (pardon the pun!) the slow uncoupling of two marriages. This is a tale of buried panic and the denial of sorrow told gently and compellingly and with humour. Its pace and style reminded me of Anne Tyler, and like the best of Tyler it's the perfect read for a lazy weekend on the sofa in front of the fire. Shame on Hodder though for all the typos!

What a lovely book. I thoroughly enjoyed the wit and humanity of this novel, from a writer who keenly understands the complexities of relationships and possesses the gentle art of bringing them to life on the page. Her touching and insightful portrayal of a marriage in crisis is offset by a great eye for comic detail producing a novel which is a delight to read.

There's a real seam of humour running though this novel - including some brilliantly observed moments of family life. There's darkness too about having to grow up but it's not a dark novel. Ultimately, it has a real optimism about human nature - and its ability to be constant but also change - and some really good plot twists. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Perfect for the holidays.
I read it cover to cover in an afternoon. Not many books make me do that. And a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon it was too.
