Synopsis
The first thing Levon Hawke does on being paroled from prison is head to his old friend Sweeney's diner. There, Levon learns a suspect history of the island where he has been offered a job at his cousin's bakery. He must start work the next day but having missed the only ferry, he sets out anyway, alone across the frozen lake in failing light. Stumbling ashore he is confronted with a ruined house deep in a dark forest. Here he finds the ethereal red-haired Obdulia Limb, grieving for her mother ten years dead, making poisoned tea and burning the ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA to keep herself warm. Will this extraordinary girl be his nemesis, or perhaps even his destiny? DOWN THERE BY THE TRAIN is a witty and wistful gothic romance, brimming with comic misunderstandings and metaphorical brilliance.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
