Dear Austen by Nina Bawden
Nina Bawden was on the train which crashed at Potter's Bar in 2002. Badly injured, she survived. Her husband did not. Written as a letter to him, she describes what happened, both then and afterwards when she became heavily involved in the fight that the 'victims' (how she hates that word) had for any acceptance of liability from the powers-that-be. In turns angry and poignant, it's also a touching eulogy to a beloved husband.
(Jenny Baker - bwl 31 September 2005 )
