Back on Track
Tricia Stringer
Reviewed by Helen
I do enjoy a good story and Tricia Stringer writes them so well, I first met Ketty in her book Table of Eight on a cruise, Ketty is a loving caring character who loves helping people and playing matchmaker, she runs Ketty Clift’s Couture and cares very much about her staff, when Ketty feels the moral falling she books them all on a train trip on the Ghan, her longtime friend Carlos will be joining them and Ketty hopes to get everyone back on track to their happy place.
The trip starts with mix-ups with cabins and staff not sure it is the best thing for them, they all have problems that Ketty is just finding out about, can she make this work for them all? Judith, Ning, Tien, Birgit, Lacey and finally Carlos arrive and the journey starts.
They all have tours to choose first off then lunch in the dining room Ketty is very impressed with the settings and is looking forward to meeting peoples and talking to her staff and bringing back that closeness that is missing, but there seems to be problems between Judith and Lacey and then Ning’s phone when they have reception is continually pinging with messages from her family, Tien is nervous about a lot of things and Birgit is the life of the party and meeting guys already and of course Carlos who seems to worrying about something, Ketty is more determined than ever to make things right.
This is a lovely story that takes in a lot of issues that happen all the time ageism being one of them, relationships, the train trip was awesome so well described I thought I was on the train with them all, but will Ketty turn everything around and get the people who mean so much to her back on track?
I do highly recommend this one, fabulous characters, a wonderful trip and an uplifting and heartwarming story, filled with so many emotions.
My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my copy to read and review.
