Book Review - One Moment, One Morning

One Moment, One Morning

Sarah Rayner


The 07:44 train from Brighton to London. Carriages packed with commuters. One woman occupies her time observing the people around her. Opposite, a girl applies her make-up. Across the aisle, a husband strokes his wife's hand. Further along, a woman flicks through a glossy magazine.

Then, abruptly, everything changes: a man collapses, the train is stopped, an ambulance called. And for three passengers that particular morning, life will never be the same again.

Sarah Rayner lives in Brighton. As well as writing fiction, she works part time as a freelance copywriter
 =============================

As I was going away for the weekend I thought I would pick up a book and cram in some reading.
Looking at the cover / reading the back page I thought it would be some easy reading, nothing to deep.
Shock!!
It was easy reading, I really hate it when authors use long obscure words that no one has ever heard of, in the hope that it might make them look big or clever however it really does repel and annoy normal readers
Sarah used simple words to relate a deep core touching story of love and loss.
I have been told I have a swinging brick for a heart all because I never cried at the film ' Marley and Me'!
I am not a person who cries, It has been declared that I am void of emotions both sad and extreme happiness
however I do love fiercely and care deeply.
So when 30 minutes into reading the book I am left with filled eyes begging to weep
page after page I could relate, I could feel, I was there.
Do I want to read a book that reduces me to tears, NO!
Do I want to read a book that is amazingly written, YES!

I have actually written to Sarah and told her, how much the book left me with emotions stirred
I don't often do this but I felt compelled
I recommend this book to anyone, I 100% loved it, best book I have read in a very long time!
