'Brilliant... profoundly affecting. A beautiful story' - RUTH JONES author of Never Greener
****** Michael is a broken man. He's waiting for the 09.46 to Gloucester so as to reach Crewe for 11.22: the platforms are long at Crewe and he can walk easily into the path of a high-speed train to London.

He's going to miss his connection - and make a few new ones... ****** 'An absorbing novel...set in the comic wonderland of the English rail network' Daily Mail 'Carefully crafted and with an undertow of melancholy Train Man is reminiscent of Nick Hornby's high-concept scenarios' Guardian 'Mulligan's prose...delivers a strong human story with impressive skill' Mail on SundayWe publiceren alleen reviews die voldoen aan de voorwaarden voor reviews.
