ONE JOURNEY THAT WILL CHANGE THE LIVES OF MANY FOREVER...

1951: the 8.45 from Bristol to Paddington is preparing to leave.

Albert, the driver - whose father and grandfather before him worked on the railway - says goodbye to his wife with mixed feelings. Their seeming inability to have a child has overshadowed their happy marriage.

Jenny, clumsy but loveable, longs to make a success of her job in the restaurant car, where she attracts the interest of Marvin, the steward.

The passengers - some regulars on the line, others making a rare visit to London - settle down for the journey. Some talk and get to know each other, some while away the journey working or sleeping.

But as they near their destination, disaster strikes...

Reviews

Highly evocative of a time, a place, a people, and a changing way of life in London at the end of World War II, this is a satisfying, compelling novel.

—— Booklist

Writing from the heart, Granger is unique in popular fiction in that she is able to tie in a fictional family saga with the big social changes going on in post war London.It's also a great Tube read, that takes you on a nostalgic journey back to a lost cockney paradise that never was.

—— What’s On in London

Heart-warming East End story, brimming with lively characters and the issues and problems affecting a London community in 1945.
