Telling the story of the week following a fateful train journey,
One Moment, One Morning by Sarah Rayner 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 . . . The
Brighton to London line. The 07:44 train. Carriages packed with
commuters. Then, abruptly, everything changes: a man has a heart
attack, and can't be resuscitated; the train is stopped, an
ambulance called. For at least three passengers on the 07:44 on
that particular morning, life will never be the same again. Lou
witnesses the man's final moments. Lou and Anna share a cab when
they realize the train is going nowhere fast. Anna is Karen's best
friend. And Karen? Karen's husband is the man who dies . . .
Revenge has never been such fun
How would you feel if your best friend at work betrayed you? Was
secretly having an affair with an influential colleague? Won a
coveted promotion, then teamed you up with a mere junior, leaving
you feeling completely demoted? What would you do? For Ivy there's
no choice. The only person she has ever trusted, Orianna, has blown
it big time. So there's only one way forward: revenge.
Ivy's campaign is brilliant, if horribly destructive, and she's
determined to get even with the woman who has dared to cross her.
But is Ivy really the innocent party? Or is she hiding secrets of
her own?

Moment, One Morning," comes "Getting Even," an unputdownable story

In the internationally bestselling author Sarah Rayner's "The Other
Half," Chloe, bright, hip and single, is a feature writer with
ambitions to launch a magazine of her own. When she meets James,
her potential new boss, she knows she shouldn't mix business with
pleasure, but finds it impossible to resist... Maggie appears to
have it all. She's beautiful, a talented writer, and has a gorgeous
husband. But something's not quite right: his job as a magazine
publisher is keeping him in the city until late most evenings, and
some nights he doesn't come home at all... Told in the alternating
voices of the mistress and the wife, this story of an affair is a
sharp, seductive take on modern love. Who, if anyone, comes out
unscathed? In writing that is lively, sexy and sharp, the
international bestselling author Sarah Rayner explores modern-day
relationships and age-old moral dilemmas.
A memorable and moving page-turner about two very different women,
each yearning to create a family of her own
What if the thing you most longed for was resting on a two week
wait? From the author of the international bestselling "One Moment,
One Morning," comes a moving portrait about what it truly means to
be a family. After a health scare, Brighton-based Lou is forced to
confront the fact that her time to have a baby is running out. She
can't imagine a future without children, but her partner doesn't
seem to feel the same way, and she's not sure whether she could go
it alone. Meanwhile, in Yorkshire, Cath is longing to start a
family with her husband, Rich. No one would be happier to have
children than Rich, but Cath is infertile. Could these strangers
help one another? With her deft exploration of raw emotions and her
celebration of the joy and resilience of friendship, "The""Two Week
Wait" is Sarah Rayner at her best.
The Brighton to London line. The 07:44 train. Carriages 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, an ambulance
called. And for three passengers 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. Karen is 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, secrets and lies, family and - above all - friendship.
Memorable and moving, gripping the reader from the very first page,
it's 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.
