‘We are getting early reports of a train crash on the Brighton to London line…Emergency Services are on their way to the scene’.

Holly knew that by staying with her he was putting himself at risk. But, as he held her in the darkness, she didn’t want to let him go.

Holly’s a mother with children, a husband she loves and a time-consuming job up in London. She copes, and life is good.

So when she is in a train accident on the London to Brighton line, Holly knows that it’s just a small chapter in her life and nothing has changed. But Holly can’t forget the younger man who comforted her in the chaos of the crash, and when she see him again on her daily commute up to town, there’s a flash of recognition between them. Is it embarrassment? Curiosity? Or is there something more? And what of Anne-Marie, another passenger who has survived. Just what is her story?

REVIEWS FOR ‘WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW’

‘Written with warmth and humour.  For the Allison Pearson market and a sophisticated cut above the norm.’

(Sarah Broadhurst, The Bookseller)

‘Picking up this book is like meeting with a dear friend. Lizzie Enfield’s prose is intelligent, amusing and confident. The action is balanced and well-paced. This is her first novel and we can only hope for more.

(Victoria Cooper, Red Magazine)
