Beschrijving
Jarvis Stringer lives in a crumbling schoolhouse overlooking a tube line, compiling his obsessive, secret history of London's Underground. His presence and his strange house draw a band of misfits into his orbit: young Alice, who has run away from her husband and baby; Tom, the busker who rescues her; truant Jasper who gets his kicks on the tube; and mysterious Axel, whose dark secret later casts a shadow over all of their lives. Dispossessed and outcast, those who come to inhabit Jarvis' schoolhouse are gradually brought closer together in violent and unforeseen ways by London's forbidding and dangerous Underground.

This one has been on the wishlist of one of my deares bookcrossingfriends since forever and I almost never manage to get her anything of her wishlist as our tastes differ : - )
I'll give this a try first and then send it over to her : - )

Taggy taggy !

This arrived today, along with a bar of chocolate!!!
Thank you so much!!!

Mystery with lots of information about the Tube. I recently read Stephen Smith’s “Underground London” and this book seems to be the perfect novel to go along with it.
It’s weird and entertaining, with nice characterisations, and a subtle sense of foreboding that slowly gets stronger.
Reserved for somebody…

This fits so well with Underground London,
so it travels along with it.

Whenever I eventually get round to reading this, I think it'll be the second book of Barbara Vine's I'll be reading. Thanks SO much!!
