The Train now Departing: Two Novellas - Softcover

"Ms. Grimes is adept at building suspense...[She] has created a work of value here, a book that expands her art, her reputation--and possibly her audience."--The Richmond-Times Dispatch

"Intelligent...They also force us to slow down, to look beneath the cliches about what's hip and what's not...Merits applause."--The Toronto Star

"Clear-eyed, nuanced probings into the cruelty of isolation, and though persuasively sad, neither novella is at all sentimental."--Kirkus Reviews

"Touching...One is moved by her ability to suggest the aching emotional chasm of apparently solid middle-aged lives." --Publishers Weekly

"Atmospheric novellas....full of suspense and surprise. These carefully written little gems showcase Grimes at her best." --Library Journal

"Each focuses on a single woman living a mundane, well-ordered life until that seeming contentment is derailed by a man with sinister intent. This is Grimes in prim Barbara Pym clothing."--The Ottawa Citizen
