Sylvia Lane is fifty-two, and she is carrying her mother through Chicago Union Station in a canvas carrier bag.
The ashes are supposed to travel east on the Lake Shore Limited and be scattered at Erie in the small hours, the way Irene would have wanted - no ceremony, no fuss. On the same train, Henry Abbott, fifty-eight, is riding east to meet Matthew, the son he relinquished twenty-eight years ago and has never seen as a man.
Two strangers. Two errands of grief and repair. One long night train.
But Sylvia does not get off at Erie. She stays aboard - past her station, past her plan - and steps down instead at Albany, a platform she never intended to stand on, to bear witness for a man she met yesterday. Half the ashes go into the Hudson. The rest is a beginning she has been postponing for years.
The Long Platform is a quiet, luminous book-club novel about long journeys and unfinished goodbyes, the families we lose and the ones we almost choose - and an almost-romance that has the courage to remain almost.
