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.

Excellent reading and narration

The story itself very much follows typical pattern of Ms. McGurl's books, alternating stories taking place at different times in approximately the same geographic location, gradually revealing different details until the stories almost seem to merge in the end. In this audiobook, using two narrators, a male and a female, was very effective to keep the two story lines somewhat separate. Both narrators were very good.

Fascinating book

I enjoy the time frames in her books. She weaves together present and past in a way that gives the reader two interconnected stories to follow. There is intriguing glimpses of the past to be discovered with the actual historical detail presented as to make the past come alive. I will continue to read this talented authors books.

Couldn’t finish

One of the main characters just too self destructive. Couldn’t bring myself to be interested in her redemption.
