In the words of Alexander McCall Smith: "You feel the rocking of the train, you hear the sound of its wheels on the rails; you are in the world rather than suspended somewhere above it. And sometimes there are conversations to be had, which is what the overarching story in this collection is all about. It is a simple device: people brought together entertain one another with tales of what happened to them on trains. It takes place on a journey I frequently make myself and know well, the journey between Edinburgh and London. It is best read on a train, preferably that one."

Listened to a whole 12-book series (44 Scotland Street) by the same author and narrator. The narrator sometimes pause between words to express an attitude, but it sounds very annoying. I have a hard time standing him sometimes.
Narrator good most of the time but can be annoying

This book is shorter than most of his works, but it packs the most wonderful exposition on the subject of Love that I have read in a long time.
I recommend this book highly for its touching and particularly meaningful story.
About love and life ...

The stories are supposed to be as told by strangers on a train, yet the narrators have very similar styles. They tell their stories in much too complex a manner, with events from years ago told in great detail, with even the conversations sounding as if they just happened yesterday. In one case, conversations are recounted third hand - the narrator was not even alive at the time, and the person speaking is not her father. Yet, every word was there. I often found myself wondering - is the person actually speaking, or is this supposed to be a flashback?
Not one of his best, but still, hard to resist.
Nice, but somehow left hanging
