About the Book

In June, 2006, Picador launches "Picador Shots", a new series of pocket-sized books priced at GBP1. The Shots aim to promote the short story as well as the work of some of Picador's greatest authors. They will be contemporarily packaged but ultimately disposable books that are the ideal literary alternative to a magazine. Jackie Kay's "Sonata" will be one of the first "Picador Shots" and comes from her new collection, "Wish I Was Here". In "Sonata", two strangers meet on a train and connect in a way that one only can when you know that you only have a few hours together, and that anything you do or say will never be held against you. One is a good listener and one is a good talker - they are the perfect combination. One tells the other about her recent loss of love whilst the other watches on, falling, secretly, in love. What will become of them? Will this journey be the sum of their relationship?
