Book description
Millions of people travel on London's tube every day, yet we usually
give our fellow passengers only a cursory glance. But each one of
these nameless passengers has their own story to tell.
At Notting Hill, the mysterious secretary, harbouring her secrets,
travels to work; at Highburyand Islington, Adam has a sudden change of
heart; and at Holborn, a disastrous reunion is about to take place...
With her characteristic mix of compassionate humour and biting
realism, this vintage collection of stories is Maeve Binchy at her
very best
