"The Brighton to London line. The 7:44 am train. Cars packed
with commuters. One woman occupies her time observing the
people around her. Opposite, a girl puts on her make-up.
Across the aisle, a husband strokes his wife's hand. Further
along, another woman flicks through a glossy magazine. Then,
abruptly, everything changes: a man collapses, the train is
stopped, and an ambulance is called. For at least three
passengers on the 7:44 on that particular morning, life will
never be the same again. There's Lou, in an adjacent seat,
who witnesses events first hand. Anna, who's sitting further
up the train, impatient to get to work. And Karen, the man's
wife. 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 to shatter everything. Yet it also reminds us
that somehow, despite it all, life can and does go on"--
