Advance Praise
"This novella was unique, intriguing and engaging. I quickly fell in love with Angie and the full development of her loving, vulnerable character made the mystery of the plot quite compelling. I was sad when it ended as the characters were very grounded and real."

I chose this book because of the description - a train trip across Canada from Toronto to Vancouver. Randolph has obviously taken this trip and he accurately describes the sights from the train as the trip proceeds. Thomas is going to Vancouver to visit with a boyhood friend as well as to get out of Toronto and his home for a change. On the train he meets Henry and Henry tells him his stories about relationships with two women, Angie and Cindi. Thomas is enthralled with Henry's stories. Until the stories end and he finds himself involved with some of the people in the stories. He also meets George the barber who gives him a much needed haircut on the Kamloops platform. Through Henry and George we meet other characters all of whom are well developed.
I enjoyed the book, having made the train trip across the country myself more than once at about the same age as Thomas was. My trips were more like Thomas' return trip though - I seldom met anyone who wanted to talk for more than a few minutes. However, the scenery is beautiful and it is a trip well worth taking.
Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC of this book. The opinions are all mine.
