GRAND CENTRAL: Original Stories of Postwar Love and Reunion is an anthology of short stories which all begin at New York’s Grand Central Terminal on the very same date, just after World War II ended by some of the biggest names in women’s fiction today. With inclusions from New York Times bestselling authors Karen White (The Time Between) and Melanie Benjamin (The Aviator’s Wife), and an introduction by #1 New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah, GRAND CENTRAL captures a delicate moment in time and a city filled with opportunity.
Last year’s 100th anniversary of Grand Central has kindled a new interest not just in the beautiful building itself but also in the millions of people that have passed through the cavernous hallways and turnstiles; along with their stories. This anthology shines a spotlight on a moment of great power and possibility when the war was over; and the world was about to be changed forever.
From a war bride who awaits the arrival of her GI husband at the platform, to a holocaust survivor who works at the Oyster Bar where a customer reminds him of his late mother, and a Hollywood hopeful who anticipates her first screen test and a chance at stardom in the Kissing Room, GRAND CENTRAL is full of stories that resonate with every reader. From the romantic to the historian, this beautifully written anthology transports the reader to a time long since gone by the very events that brought us to where we are today.
