The Boy on the Train

Praise for Martin Goodman “Goodman writes with flare and panache, and the narrative fizzes along. Goodman’s novel soars.” — The Times “Heralds a new dawn for British writing.” — Daily Post “Beautifully structured and has a distinctive and haunting tone. Altogether a very clever and memorable piece of work.” — Simon Mawer, author of The Glass Room “A magical mystery tour in humility, truth, death, betrayal, forgiveness, the envelopment of nature, written as clearly and powerfully as a French Pyrenees river.” — Karla Kuban, author of Marchlands “A treat to read – a gripping, uncanny, gothic adventure.” — , author of Gothic Horror “It combines psychology at its darkest with a genuine sense of the uncanny – a powerful and disturbing experience.” — Ramsey Campbell “A great book about how to save the planet” — Coldplay “The book is inspirational in a hardheaded, let’s go to work-and-get-real-results sort of way … There’s a global vision. It’s quietly amazing.” — Oxford Today “Goodman's attention to detail often combines with verbal felicity to memorialize even the most ordinary moments. Powerful and affecting work.” — Paul Russell, author of Immaculate Blue “Such narrow, narrow confines we live in. Every so often, one of us primates escapes these dimensions, as Martin Goodman did. All we can do is rattle the bars and look after him as he runs into the hills. We wait for his letters home.” — The Los Angeles Times “Extraordinary – An important, aching, artful novel.” — The Toronto Star
