The Girl on the Train
Paula Hawkins, 2015
A divorced commuter fills her days watching a perfect couple from the train, until a glimpse of something wrong pulls her into their lives.
Paula Hawkins wrote four romantic comedies under the pen name Amy Silver before The Girl on the Train became a bestseller.
Feels like unease, dread and memory.
A home you can't stop looking at, even though it hurts.
I lived at number twenty-three Blenheim Road for five years, blissfully happy and utterly wretched. I can’t look at it now. That was my first home. Not my parents’ place, not a flatshare with other students, my first home. I can’t bear to look at it. Well, I can, I do, I want to, I don’t want to, I try not to. Every day I tell myself not to look, and every day I look. I can’t help myself, even though there is nothing I want to see there, even though anything I do see will hurt me. Paula Hawkins, 2015
