Berlin, 1939. Tears pouring down her cheeks, Rosa pushes through the crowds and thrusts the basket containing her darling newborn twins at the woman closing the door to the carriage. All she can say is please take them. Then she runs, praying the train will reach England safely... As the smell of smoke drifts through the air, Jewish people lock their doors. They no longer feel welcome in their home city, and while some mothers hide their children, others take them, clad in dark threadbare coats, to the crowded train station and the hope of a new life. Rosa has feared for her twins since they were born two weeks ago. As she huddles in her filthy house, crammed in with her neighbours, she sees children growing weaker. It may be too late for her and her seven-year-old daughter Therese. But can she find a way out for her precious babies? Dora scans the desperate crowd on the platform, despairing as she knows there isn't room for all of them on the train to England. And when a woman thrusts a basket containing newborn twins into her arms, a shiver of dread slides down her spine. Babies aren't authorised to travel - how can she keep them hidden from the cold-eyed soldiers? She knows this mother wants the same thing she does - safety for these innocent children. But will she be able to help this brave woman before it is too late? An unforgettable World War Two novel about two courageous women who risked everything for the innocent victims of war. Fans of The Nightingale and The Alice Network will be utterly gripped by this unputdownable page-turner from bestselling author Suzanne Goldring. What everyone is saying about The Twins on the Train: 'This book is an emotional punch to the gut in the best way possible... My heart was in my throat. The story paints such a vivid picture of the fear and desperation felt during one of the darkest times in history...
