Review Quotes:
"Oh, what a novel ! It will make you laugh and cry, it will make you want to call your dear ones to tell them how much you love them, it will make you buy it for all your friends. When you get to the end, Anna, Lou and Karen will feel like they are your soul sisters. " --Tatiana de Rosnay, author of A Secret Kept and Sarah's Key
"Shocking, gripping, and beautifully rendered. I found it impossible to put down!" --Beth Harbison, author of Always Something There To Remind Me "A moving account of what happens to three women in one week when a man dies on a Brighton to London commuter train. Very impressive." --Bookseller (UK) "Carried along by the momentum of a suspense-filled yet touching story that drives to the core of human emotion, this book is a real page-turner, exploring the harrowing pain of loss and grief, family secrets and how a tragic event can force you to be honest about who you really are. You'll want to inhale it in one breath." --Easy Living (UK) "Rayner is a swift, efficient plotter, nudging her characters towards the light of congruence and self-reliance. Her Brighton is carefully and affectionately mapped, and her account of the gruelling rituals a death involves is deftly done." --The London Times Literary Supplement
