I originally had The Paris Express by Emma Donoghue on my summer reading list and changed it out at the last minute. But, it came from the library, so I read it anyway. “Based on an 1895 disaster that went down in history when it was captured in a series of surreal, extraordinary photographs, The Paris Express is a propulsive novel set on a train packed with a fascinating cast of characters who hail from as close as Brittany and as far as Russia, Ireland, Algeria, Pennsylvania, and Cambodia. Members of parliament hurry back to Paris to vote; a medical student suspects a girl may be dying; a secretary tries to convince her boss of the potential of moving pictures; two of the train’s crew build a life away from their wives; a young anarchist makes a terrifying plan, and much more.” (Amazon) This was a good read for a trip and kept my interest, but it wasn’t a favorite.
