Four travellers are forced to share a compartment on the last train leaving the troubled Duchy of Gomsza. As they trade reasons for leaving, it becomes clear that nothing is quite what it seems. The author also wrote "Flying to Nowhere", winner of the Whitbread in 1983 and "Tell It Me Again".
Chatto was founded in 1855 by a bookseller-publisher called John Camden Hotten. On Hotten's death, Andrew Chatto, who had worked there since he was fifteen, acquired the business with a sleeping partner, W.E. Windus. In 1917, The Hogarth Press was founded by Virginia and Leonard Woolf, and in 1946 this too came under Chatto's management. The firm published many significant writers and classics - R.L. Stevenson, Lytton Strachey, Marcel Proust, Laurie Lee, Christopher Isherwood, Rosamond Lehmann, Henry Green, Sigmund Freud and Iris Murdoch. Cecil Day-Lewis, Poet Laureate, was editorial director in the 1960s.
