I scrawled through my 'read' books to find something to fit and found this one. A secret guilty pleasure is domestic drama and Tessa Hadley does tem really well especially in her short stories. Here a Cardiff /London train journey leads to two strangers starting a conversation, their attraction has dramatic consequences.
