Robert Grainier is a day labourer in the American West, felling the trees that feed the railways. It is the start of the twentieth century, and the world is changing at a rapid pace. Life is fragile in the wilds of the frontier; disease and forest fires are rife. Buffeted by the loss of his family, Grainier journeys, struggling to make sense of the bewildering changes transforming the nation. Rich and muscular, sweeping and incantatory, Train Dreams is an epic in miniature: an elegy to the ravaged beauty of a lost landscape, and a haunting indictment of the cost of our modern way of life.

A masterpiece' Observer 'I don't think there is a sentence in the book that isn't perfectly made' Ann Patchett, New York TimesCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBBook Series: Granta EditionsGenre: FictionRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
