Informazioni su questo ebook
'Clever, ambitious . . . a smartly structured novel that ratchets up the pace until it's hurtling along as fast as the train itself' – Alice Winn, author of In Memoriam
The turn of the century is approaching, and Paris is as chaotic as it is glamorous. Industry and invention create huge wealth and terrible poverty. One morning, an anarchist boards the ill-fated Granville to Paris express train, determined to make her mark on history.
Aboard the train are others from across the globe: the railway crew who have built a life together away from their wives, a little boy travelling alone for the first time, an artist far from home, a wealthy statesman and his invalid wife, and a medical student who suspects a fellow passenger may be dying.
As Europe races towards the future and the train speeds towards the City of Light, each passenger carries secrets that could prove fatal . . .
'Donoghue's talents are at such glorious heights in this novel' – Heather O'Neill, author of The Capital of Dreams
