 This was my first published book (though the second I'd written with these characters). It's about a very ordinary girl, Jane, who works in banking and marries a dealer.
Since I was working in dealing at the time I was following the advice on writing about what you know. Jane thinks that her life will be complete when she gets married but she finds that things don't always turn out the way she hoped. Which I think is something that happens to all of us. Like the Chinese proverb 'be careful what you wish for' sometimes the thing we want the most is the thing that breaks our hearts!
Each chapter heading is the title of a song which was in the top 40 at the time. The song titles reflect (in a very general way) the theme of the chapter.

"Pacey distraction for short-hop journeys…a sound-bite collection of 19 short stories based around the Dart train service. From Malahide to Killiney O’Flanagan’s stories zip around the line, spinning tales of love and sorrow. Some are moving, others are amusing but between the lot there’s bound to be something to keep you distracted next time you’re on the go" - Image
"Looks at the lives behind the blank faces of one’s fellow commuters…perfect for a journey by Dart" – The Sunday Tribune
"It is down to Sheila O'Flanagan's natural talent for always creating engaging characters and penning flowing unselfconscious dialogue that in many of these stories one is left wishing for more..." – Irish Independent
