Product Description

Product Description
Millions of people travel on London's tube every day, yet we usually give our fellow passengers only a cursory glance. But each one of these nameless passengers has their own story to tell. At Notting Hill, the mysterious secretary, harbouring her secrets, travels to work; at Highburyand Islington, Adam has a sudden change of heart; and at Holborn, a disastrous reunion is about to take place...With her characteristic mix of compassionate humour and biting realism, this vintage collection of stories is Maeve Binchy at her very best.

From the Publisher
A vintage collection of short stories from the bestselling author of Light a Penny Candle and Circle of Friends

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly excellent collection, 23 Sep 1999
I have just bought a new edition of this book, having read (and shared) my first copy to pieces!

Without any doubt at all, this is the finest collection of 'modern' short stories I have ever read. Each story, like each of the succinctly described characters, is astonishing in a different way.

If you have ever wondered what people are REALLY like beneath the surface, in this book Maeve Binchy finds out for you. The changing faces of people within the fixedness of place is the theme of each story. No-one is who he/she appear to be and the surprises are endless.

Even if you have never buy another short-story collection. buy this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for those on the run, 11 Oct 2002
What a great book for those people who don't have time or just don't get the chance to read a whole book, this is ideal a collection of short stories.featuring tube stations and people who live or work there. Makes you wonder about the people you see everyday.Delightfully witty and thoughtfully I have to admit one of the first books Read by this author and from then on wanted more.There is something very real about the people told about and you get the feel for them. a Must for all.In fact felt so good about this book got a friend to buy it and if they did not like it promised them the money back, the friend loved this book and bought me the new book by this author. Happy Reading

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful collection of short stories, 27 Jun 2003
Each one of these gems is better than the rest. Binchy is a true story teller. Not only will she have you hooked, she'll have all your friends and family hooked too. Her quirky, well-written stories are having a long, overdue chat with a good friend. Classic.
