The 6:41 to Paris

The simplest of plots: a man and a woman sit down next to each other on the train to Paris. Insert a small twist: the man and woman knew each other well, more than twenty years ago. Now enter the thoughts of each, in turn.

I took this little train ride of a book the last few days. How well the author got into the heads of these two complex and real people. How well the author maintained the tension between them.

This is the perfect book for your next short train ride. I caution you to look carefully at who you are sitting beside on the ride.
