Sinopsis

Blayne Cooper, the award-winning author of Cobb Island, Echoes from the Mist, and The Story of Me, and co-author of Madam President and First Lady, has once again presented readers with a well-spun tale. The Last Train Home, an endearing and often heart-wrenching story set in the late nineteenth century, will keep you on the edge of your seat. One cold winter's night in Manhattan's Lower East side, tragedy strikes the Chisholm family. Thrown together by fate and disaster, Virginia Ginny Chisholm meets Lindsay Killian, a street-smart drifter who spends her days picking pockets and riding the rails. Together, the young women embark on a desperate journey that spans from the slums of New York City to the Western Frontier, as Ginny tries to reunite her family, regardless of the cost. In this dramatic saga a solid friendship is forged, one strong enough to endure the trials of an impoverished existence in 1890s America and a quest from which neither woman will back down. It's those same bonds that form the basis of a tender, and very unexpected, romance.


Reseñas Varias sobre este libro



I’m not a huge fan of YA. It’s not my go to, but I do enjoy a good one every now and then. I absolutely love historical romance. That being said Last Train Home is a favorite of mine.
I’ve read it several times. My heart breaks with Ginny and the loss of her family in the fire. I love Lindsey and how she helps Ginny track down her younger siblings. I love the friendship the two form while being in the hospital. They were strangers but found someone they could lean on and count on in each other. I enjoyed watching that friendship evolve. They become a family as they search for and find Ginny’s younger siblings. This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.Show full review4 s Colleen Corgel525 20

Really sweet, if a little slow, teen historical romance. the book depicts life in New York near the turn of the century as a bleak, cold and crowded landscape. There's some great small details that show off the research Cooper did, such as the Charity hospital on Blackwell's Island. The island is currently known as Roosevelt Island, but before that, it was known for the very same hospital and asylum complex that is mentioned in the book.

The one thing that really slows down the book is how unlucky both Lindsay and Ginny are. The first part of the book is full of action and desperation, then it slows to a bit of a crawl as we wait for the next series of unfortunate events to happen to our leading ladies. lgbt young-adult Brenda7

Most excellent read!

I laughed out loud, I was sad and mad reading this story. There were sections that I found I couldn't read fast enough trying to find out what was going to happen, what was the outcome going to be. I truly enjoyed reading this story and the adventure of took me on! Well done! Monique222 7

The language and willingness to be 'deviant' was just all wrong. There could have been far more suspense. Ginny was a bit of a nincompoop, and Lindsay just outright stupid on more than one occasion. It's a high 2, but a 2 nonetheless. MizLiz792 7

Good story for YA. I can see some of the things happening but to be able to exist without working and always finding good people to help them in the 1800's is not quite believable. Still funny in parts, love developing with no guidelines. Julieta SteyrAuthor 13 books24

I d the beginning, a number of different misfortunes that lead to two women to the hospital, but in general I twisted things. So... this meeting will make one of them agrees to help find the family of the other woman.
Problems, problems and more problems along the way. Final paragraph (for people who didn't understand) is the typical humor of Blayne, obviously they didn't read anything more of her.
A book better of your "famous" writers / owners of editorials? Yes. Literature? Nope, she's not Sarah Waters. Geez! You don't understand anything. Blayne is Blayne. Amy156

I enjoyed the characters and the story, but just seemed I could not get to the end. Once I finally did, I was happy. But was not happy with the post script, thought to much was dumped into it. If I could give a 1/2 star this would get 3.5 stars. Wendy Simpson7 Read

One of my favorites

I absolutely love this book. Great story line. I love the characters. They'll all do different. I love how the relationship between the two girls develop. Just overall amazing book. I definitely recommend others to read. You won't be disappointed! AGC266 8

The story is interesting and the characters likable, but the writing, most lesbian fiction, isn't the highest quality. Mary63

Writing left a lot to be desired. Slow. A lot of potential that was allowed to slip away. Elaine BurnesAuthor 10 books25 Want to read
