Sarah Broadhurst's view...
Two first-person narratives follow two threatened people who meet at night on a subway train, too frightened to go home. They fall in love. How they escape their confined lives and set out together is delightfully handled with, for me, an unexpected ending. She wrote Love in the Present Tense which was a Richard and Judy pick last year.
Comparison: Alice Sebold, Ayelet Waldman, Jane Fallon.
If you like Catherine Ryan Hyde you might also like to read books by Jodi Picoult, Maggie O'farrell and Jane Fallon.

Because of Lovereading I have broadened my reading horizons with some really great books that I probably would never have chosen myself.
