Margaret Campell is a successful, twenty-six year old
teacher in Edinburgh. After a fight with her brother on Christmas Eve, she
quickly takes a train away from her hometown of Stirling. On the train, she
meets and intriguing stranger, one who she realizes is Gordon Shaw, the man who
had paralyzed her brother with his careless drunkenness. When their train goes
awry, she is forced to bring him back to her family’s home. This book perfectly
displays the danger of keeping secrets hidden, as well as how the truth really
does set you free.
This was a very good book; it had just enough of a plot
twist to make it unpredictable, and it was the perfect length for a Christmas
vacation. This was one of the first novellas I have read, and it was definitely
a good one! It is nice to have a shorter book every once in a while. I could
not believe that so much character and plot development could fit into a mere
224 pages (or 1,972 KB, for you e-readers ;) Overall, I would recommend this
book to anyone looking for a nice, relaxing read on your vacation, or just a fun book for anytime!
