Publisher's Summary

‘Absolutely broke my heart… I didn’t emerge for breath until I’d tearfully finished the last page. Wonderful.’ Being Anne, 5 stars

Dorset, 1935. Stationmaster Ted has never cared much for romance. Occupied with ensuring England’s most beautiful railway runs on time, love has always felt like a comparatively trivial matter. Yet when he meets Annie Galbraith on the 8.42 train to Lynford, he can’t help but instantly fall for her.

But when the railway is forced to close and a terrible accident occurs within the station grounds, Ted finds his job and any hope of a relationship with Annie hanging in the balance…

Present day. Recovering from heartbreak after a disastrous marriage, Tilly decides to escape from the bustling capital and move to Dorset to stay with her dad, Ken.

When Ken convinces Tilly to help with the restoration of the old railway, she discovers a diary hidden in the old ticket office. Tilly is soon swept up in Ted’s story, and the fateful accident that changed his life forever.

But an encounter with an enigmatic stranger takes Tilly by surprise, and she can’t help but feel a connection with Ted’s story in the past…

Don’t miss this haunting and evocative timeslip novel.

Didn’t like it

I didn’t think I would find a Katherine Mcgurl story I didn’t like. I did and this was it. I couldn’t connect with any of the characters. Tilley acted like a 15 year old not a 39 year old. Very annoying was the fathers use of the word “pet” when he talked to Tilley. That word is used in the North of England but not constantly. I don’t think the father called her by her first name...ever. The false Yorkshire accent of the narrator also bothered me. The story improved towards the end but not enough for me to recommend this book. I actually thought it might be a book for youth. Ted definitely had something wrong with him. Sad what happened in the end though. No this wasn’t for me at all.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
