“She would wait another hour, and even then, she knew, she would want to stay near the station forever. She will wait until her knees give out. She won’t budge, won’t step over, won’t quit. She won't give up. She would wait and wait—and then wait some more. After all, wasn't that what she promised Jim? At the end of the world or in Ealing. Always.” Many passengers at London's Ealing Broadway station know Mary O'Connor by sight. A beautiful woman of about forty appears at the entrance every day. She always holds a sign that says "Jim, come home." Passengers pass by, but Alice, an aspiring reporter, decides to stop one day. Is it okay if she asks Mary to tell her story? A story that is seven years old and in which there is deception, misunderstanding and the disappearance of a person. A person whom Mary loved, but lost. The man who said that one day they would certainly meet “at the end of the world or in Ealing.” And Mary knows it’s not a joke. “Abbie Greaves finds the extraordinary in the ordinary.” – Booklist“Poignant and touching.
