Description
It is a dreadful November; rain and sleet batter young Martin while he tries to hitch a lift to Liverpool. He hears a bus approaching but has no money, so when it stops to eject a weeping girl, then speeds away, he hurries to catch up. Companions in misfortune, Martin and Rose slog on together. Each has a secret which neither wishes to part with. And when they go their separate ways, they don’t expect to meet again. But fate decrees otherwise . . .
