Book Synopsis
The heroes and heroines of Night Geometry and the Garscadden Trains, A. L. Kennedy''s first collection of stories, are small people - the kind who inhabit the silence in libraries, who never appear on screen and who never make the headlines. Often alone and sometimes lonely, her characters ponder the mysteries of sex and death... and the ability of public transport to affect our lives.
