Penguin BooksWatch #1 New York Times bestselling author @mattzhaig talk about the surprises he came across while writing his new novel THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN, a magical, time-travelling love story about second chances. 🚂 "I was following the character, rather than dictating to the character. So the whole plot — and it was quite a big subplot to do the character of Dougie. I had no planning at all, and it just kind of happened and took over the book." Let us know in the comments what surprised you the most when reading THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN 👇
