Plump,virginal Janice Gentle reluctantly
writes her delicate romances with goal view,to make enough money to find the man
she loved and lost twenty years ago.Before
she begins each new book she must journey on a morning tube train and find her central characters from among the real- life travellers.This time it is a square- jawed young man with love problems,a perfect Little Blonde Secretary Bird with a head full of romance,and a vicar's wife
from Cockermouth with a passionate secret.
Janice plans her neatly perfect fiction around these three - but what happens to them when they leave the train? Three traveller's tales,a lover's pilgrimage and an obsession with the Chivalric Ideal mingle in a satire on publishing,a paean for love and a tilt at contemporary careless times.Janice Gentle wins through but her tube-train travellers remain,in their ordinary lives,muddling and suffering along,just like the rest of us. . . .
