The Pumpkin Coach by Susan Sallis (Corgi, £6.99).
This heart-warming novel, set in Gloucestershire in the late 1940s, features Alice Pettiford, who takes a job as a railway secretary and almost immediately falls in love with one of her new colleagues, Joe Adair.
But Joe has to go overseas on National Service and Alice realises that another man, Valentine the brother of her best friend is developing feelings for her.
When Valentine and Alice discover a long-abandoned railway coach in a clearing in the Forest of Dean, Alice realises it has been a special and magical place.
What she does not realise is that the coach has played a secret part in the history of Joe's family and that soon her own destiny will be shaped by it.
