A novel in two parts linked by journeys made on the London Train. Drawn to this due to its enticing cover. I felt the first half of the book lacking somehow, being unable to identify with Paul. Despite this I found the second half about Cora flowed, and was much more interesting and plausible. I was immersed in the story by this point. I would read Hadley again, on the whole it was enjoyable.
