I had trouble getting into it at first, because I am not a huge fan of POV jumping, that is, each chapter bouncing from character to character. But it worked pretty well, maybe because it was third person limited (I think) and so there was a continuity that played nicely. And while there was some cancer stuff (one of the characters is an oncology nurse), it was never so grim that I was triggered (and I trigger very easily about cancer). Such a lovely book deftly weaving together many interesting, even important themes, touching on tense moments, but without ever being heavy-handed or even predictable. Upbeat goodness indeed. A cute and cozy novel focused around a small circle of people who meet on a commuter train in London. While the obvious rule of commuting is that no one ever speaks to each other, when one man chokes on a grape, it starts a chain of events that leads to a handful of people with no immediately obvious common interests becoming friends. At the centre of the group is Iona, a brilliantly outspoken fifty-something lesbian who takes no nonsense and finds herself caring deeply for this strange group. Perfect for readers who love a good found family novel. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Authenticity Project comes an escapist read that will transport you, cheer you, and make you smile??and make you, too, wish you had Iona??s gift for bringing out the best in everyone. ??A not-to-be-missed read in the mode of Gail Honeyman's Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine.? ??Booklist, starred review Every day Iona, a larger-than-life magazine advice columnist, travels the ten stops from Hampton Court to Waterloo Station by train, accompanied by her dog, Lulu. Every day she sees the same people, whom she knows only by nickname: Impossibly-Pretty-Bookworm and Terribly-Lonely-Teenager. Of course, they never speak. Seasoned commuters never do. Then one morning, the man she calls Smart-But-Sexist-Manspreader chokes on a grape right in front of her. He??d have died were it not for the timely intervention of Sanjay, a nurse, who gives him the Heimlich maneuver. This single event starts a chain reaction, and an eclectic group of people with almost nothing in common except their commute discover that a chance encounter can blossom into much more. It turns out that talking to strangers can teach you about the world around you??and e Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
