Grand Central – by bestselling authors Melanie Benjamin, Jenna Blum, Amanda Hodgkinson, Pam Jenoff, Sarah Jio, Sarah McCoy, Kristina McMorris, Alyson Richman, Erika Robuck and Karen White

A collection of post war stories set on the same day in September 1945 and in the same place Grand Central Terminal, New York. The stories are written in a mixture of styles, some written in first and some in third person. I enjoyed all of them. Each story stands alone, but also picks out a character or two from the previous story, which I thought was cleverly done. I liked the fluid feel to each story, which captured the sense of place with everyone on the move, some coming home from the war, some embarking on a new life and others escaping their past.
