To be upfront, this book is not for everyone. It is very short and it is translated from French. Which means it was written by a Frenchman. French books (and movies) tend to be different from American ones. Here is the premise of the book: Cécile (47, married with children and very successful in a business) is taking a train back to Paris after spending the weekend with her parents (not a very pleasant experience - ever!). She is happy to find a seat with no one next to her. Of course that doesn't last long. A man sits down. Immediately she recognizes him. He is Philippe Leduc - someone from her past. She doesn't say anything to him. He recognizes her also but says nothing. The book goes back and forth between what the two characters are thinking and glimpses into their pasts - and what happened in London to change their lives.
I really enjoyed it - and it doesn't take long to read. Try it!
