"The Brighton to London line. The 7:44 am train. Cars 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, and an ambulance is called. For at least three passengers on the 7:44 on 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, 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, about family and - above all- friendship. 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"--… (meer)

First of all, I would like to thank the publisher for selecting me in the Goodreads contest!

This book was the equivalent (to me) of a chick flick. Which I don't ever watch. Once you resign yourself to the fact that on every page there is going to be a character crying, or wishing her life wasn't so bad, or complaining about her mother, or sighing heavily, and then crying....well, I guess you could enjoy this book. The story, about a man's sudden death on a train and the 3 women's lives that intersect as a result of that tragedy is a good premise. The moral of the story is life is too short not to be yourself. However, it was just really depressing with all the women getting together to talk, over and over again. The only good thing I felt after reading this, was that it was finally over. ( )

liked it due to good character development - wanted to see what happened in their lives. I wish the line on the cover about "you will laugh, you will cry" was true... don't remember laughing! It was sad, really sad, yet draws you in..just not a happy beach read, which I sometimes need! ( )

A man has a heart attack on a commuter train to London. This scenario affects 3 women, his wife Karen, a witness Lou, and Karen's best friend Anna in another compartment. The story takes part in the week following as we follow these 3 women dealing with loss, family, friendships. The 3 women come together in friendship.
Not a bad read but I cannot say I was hugely moved. Not sure why. A bit blah. ( )

I found the bereavement process to be poorly portrayed and this really let the book down ( )

I enjoyed the characters in this as the three key individuals were quite different and approached the same situation with some clear views influenced by their previous experiences which was reflected really well. Interestingly "not a lot happened along the way" and the conclusion therefore did not have a sudden clarity and closure that I enjoy but that I feel is a personal style thing. There was no big sudden twist of ending which was good and it did tie up some loose ends but I guess the point of the story for me was an exploration of reaction rather than a journey to a conclusion.

"Rayner's well-written third novel, which sold over 200,000 copies in Britain, will draw in readers with its dramatic opening and keep them engaged in its fully fleshed-out characters as the story progresses. Fans of women's fiction dealing with friendship and overcoming loss will appreciate discovering a new author."
