Six holiday travelers become trapped by a winter storm when a power failure stops their train between two rural stations. A few days before Christmas, in the severest winter Britain has experienced, six people converge on London's Waterloo Station, bound for differing destinations on the Portsmouth line. Strangers to each other, they are to find themselves travelling in the same train, and sharing the same carriage. The mounting snowdrifts steadily engulf the train, bringing it to a halt between two rural stations, and here it remains, blizzard-struck. With light and heating gone, and the weather worsening, so the tension in the carriage grows. With his customary highly visual narrative skill, Christopher Leach contrasts the savagery of ruthless natural forces with six people's discovery of each other, and finally of themselves. Christopher Leach has the true story-teller's gift of being able to seize the attention in a vice-like grip tight at the beginning of his books. Ref BB 4. Nº de ref. del artículo: 031316
