"I picked this up after watching Mrs. Winterbourne, and noticing that it was based on a novel. I enjoyed the period. Really great story for such a short book."
"Talk about a dark tale. A woman is abandoned by her pimp, who has also left her pregnant. On the train back to California, she mixes with a young married couple on their way home to introduce the woman to the family. A train crash occurs. A switched identity and now the woman is living in desperate hope that she'll be able to get away with assuming a new identity so as to keep her child comfortable and well. Only...the pimp comes back! And then things get really interesting.
Found out that this was where they got the story for that dumb movie "Mrs. Winterbourne." Only they left the murder and mayhem out of it."
"Not one of Cornell Woolrich's better works. The movie's been filmed a million times before, you know the story: lonely spinster meets bride-to-be on train that closely resembles her, train crashes, future bride dies and spinster assumes her identity. Yeah, it's that story. Barbara Stanwyck filmed it as "No Man Of Her Own" and Ricki Lake even had a shot at this story a few years ago.
The concept isn't bad but it's not good enough to pad out an entire novel, plus Woolrich is at his sappiest here. Skip it."
"I loved the movie Mrs. Winterbourne so I thought I would read the book. The book is not even close to the movie. The book is very boring and not worth the read."
