One Moment, One Morning - Softcover

The Brighton to London line. The 07:44 train. Carriages packed with commuters. A woman applies her make-up. Another occupies her time observing the people around her. A husband and wife share an affectionate gesture. Further along, a woman flicks through a glossy magazine. Then, abruptly, everything changes: a man has a heart attack, and can't be resuscitated; the train is stopped, an ambulance called. For at least three passengers on the 07:44 on that particular morning, life will never be the same again. Lou witnesses the man's final moments. Anna and Lou share a cab when they realise the train is going nowhere fast. Anna is Karen's best friend. And Karen? Karen's husband is the man who dies. Telling the story of the week following that fateful train journey, One Moment, One Morning is a stunning novel about love and loss, about family and - above all - friendship. A stark reminder that, sometimes, one moment is all it takes, it also reminds us that somehow, and despite everything, life can and does go on.

Sarah Rayner is the author of the international bestseller One Moment, One Morning, and its critically acclaimed follow-up, The Two Week Wait. Another Night, Another Day is the third stand-alone novel to feature her Brighton-based characters. Earlier in her career she published two rather different novels, The Other Half and Getting Even, which have recently been fully updated by the author and reissued by Picador. For many years Sarah worked as an advertising copywriter, but she now writes fiction full-time from her home in Brighton, which she shares with her husband and stepson.
