Louise is thirty-one. She illustrates children's books, and she has sworn not to fall in love again before she turns forty. Every morning she takes the 7.42 from Namur to Brussels: carriage 4, window seat. She never turns round.

One Thursday in October she leaves an old paperback on the seat. The next morning it is waiting in her place. On page 47, someone has written in pencil: “You underlined the wrong sentence. The right one is three lines further down.”

She writes back. He writes back. Book after book, margin after margin, a stranger writes her the loveliest things anyone has ever said to her. She is certain it's Maxime, the handsome train guard with the sunny smile.

But what if the one writing to her has been right behind her all along?

Contains sensual love scenes between adults.
