Thus, in addition to the settings which Rayner expertly describes herself, I was able to visualise, perhaps better than most, a vivid backdrop to the story which sees the lives of Karen, Anna and Lou intertwine as the plot develops.Īfter Karen is left widowed following her husband Simon’s heart attack, she turns to best friend Anna, who herself is dealing with an unhappy relationship with her spouse whose fondness for alcohol is proving too much to bear. I now live in Clapham Junction which is also mentioned in the book, and until recently worked around the corner from Cheyne Walk in Chelsea where one of the main characters Anna, works as copywriter. Rather ironically, I used to get the 7.44 from Brighton to London after graduating from university when I was interning in London. On the journey a man dies of a sudden heart attack, changing three women’s lives forever. The debut novel from Brighton based author Sarah Rayner, One Moment, One Morning begins on the 7.44 train from Brighton to London.
Having finished my book en route to Yorkshire, and unwilling to begin a heavy classic from my Uncle’s huge hoard of books, I borrowed One Moment, One Morning from my cousin. After spending three food and fizz filled days with my family in Yorkshire for Christmas, I had a rather long train journey home to London.
