One Moment, One Morning

My book club read Sarah Rayner's One Moment, One Morning this month.  This book is the story about three women riding the same train from Brighton to London during the morning commute. Two of the women were friends but did not know each other was on the same train.  An incident happens on the train and changes all three lives.  The book goes through that day and the next four days in detail and the final chapter describes the three woman (now friends) getting together for a fun afternoon.  This book was a great story about female friendship.  Most of us liked the story very much.  The members of the group who didn't like the story were both widows.  The incident on the train was one of the main character's husband dies of a heart attack on the train.  For them the description of her grief didn't ring true; didn't go deep enough.  The author, Sarah Rayner, has not experienced the death of a spouse.  She is a young woman, living in Brighton, who previously wrote for a fashion magazine.  Her first two novels were in the "chick lit" category.  This is her first serious novel.  So if you're looking for a story about friendship, you might like this book.  I did.
