Trains and Lovers Description
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."

Alexander McCall-Smith takes four strangers on a train journey with each talking about their past and present relationships. An enchanting book with typical McCall-Smith reflections on life today. It's an easy read, yet as always thought provoking. It's the way McCall-Smith puts into words those instants of life which are often thought, but not easily verbalized, which provide delight and sparks of insight into life as it is today. An enjoyable read.

this is so different from the other books that I have read by this author, although on reflection perhaps the Isabel Dalhousie books are also an inside to people and how they think.
I loved this and would recommend it to others who enjoy this authors works.
