Trains & Lovers
A Cultural, Contemporary, Romance book. That's the curious thing about love, isn't it? It makes very ordinary things seem special....
In the words of Alexander McCall Smith: "You feel the rocking of the train, you hear the sound of its wheels on the rails; you are in the world rather than suspended somewhere above it. And sometimes there are conversations to be had, which is what the overarching story in this collection is all about. It is a simple device: people brought together entertain one another with tales of what happened to them on trains. It takes place on a journey I frequently make myself and know well, the journey between Edinburgh and London. It is best read on a train, preferably that one."

More About Trains & Lovers
Already many of the memories of the previous two weeks had faded: the smell of that small hotel in St. Andrews; that mixture of bacon cooking for breakfast and the lavender-scented soap in the bathroom; the air from the sea drifting across the golf course; the aroma of coffee in the coffee bar in South Street. She should have noted them down. She should have said something about all that and the light and the hills with sheep on them like small white stones.

Although the page count won't make it seem novella length, the large print and small pages make this book a breeze, perfect for the last book of 2013!This is a sweet (too sentimental, possibly?) story of four strangers on a train, traveling from Edinburgh to London, and telling the stories of their lives to each other. One man keeps... Andrew, David, Hugh, Kay. Four people meet on a train and hold a conversation with one another. Some unseen force urges them to tell one another about the great loves in their lives. If I had to pick one word to summarize this book . . . Pudding. Overall sweet and smooth. But bland. Great for bedtime.Question: "So what is this love... In a word, CHARMING. A wonderful, cosy little story for a chilly afternoon. Afghan and cup of tea optional.
