Amid the strange, silent aftermath of World War II, a widow, a poet, and a health care provider search for enduring serenity and fresh origins in this internationally acclaimed, award-winning novel. When Anikka Lachlan's man, Mac, is wiped out in a railway automobile accident, she actually is offered - and accepts - a job at the Railway Institute's catalogue and queries there for some solace in her unexpectedly new lease of life. However in Thirroul in 1948, she's not the sole person seeking to chase dreams through books. There's Roy McKinnon, who found poetry in the clutter of war but who has now lost his words and his wish. There's Frank Draper, stuck by the guilt of those his medical treatment and good care failed on the first day of flexibility. All three struggle to find their own serenity and their own new testimonies. But combined with the firming of the triangle of camaraderie and a feeling of lives inching toward renewal come other extremities - and misunderstandings. In the long run love and flexibility can have surprising ways of expressing themselves. The Railwayman's Wife explores the energy of origins and endings and exactly how hard it can sometimes be to tell them apart. Most of all it celebrates love in every its forms and the beauty of discovering that loving someone can be as extraordinary as being loved yourself.
