Cath Staincliffe discusses uniting nine disparate characters on a train in her new novel, with Chris High
Cath Staincliffe’s latest novel, The Silence Between Breaths (Constable) is not for the faint of heart.

It’s a thought-provoking work, which takes one particular event seen from several viewpoints and, as a result, provides many different strands.
