Iona Iverson's Rules for Commuting by Clare Pooley
4.0
Iona Iverson's Rules for Commuting beautifully highlights the importance of connection and community, where six strangers on a daily train commute form an unexpected and heartwarming friendship that offers both emotional and practical support. Iona, a colorful and likable woman, serves as the focus of the story, but the author also develops the other characters exceptionally well, making their dynamic enjoyable to follow.
The diverse group, each with unique personal histories, allows Pooley to explore a range of topical issues, including ageism, unemployment, grief, stress, domestic violence, and bullying. This variety gives the story broad appeal, as many readers will find something that resonates with their own experiences.
It's a perfect choice for a light and enjoyable summer read that leaves a warm and uplifting feeling.
