Why read it?
2 authors picked The Paris Express as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A fast-paced, character-driven novel set in the late 19th century, based on a true story and set on a train which is doomed to disaster as it heads for Montparnasse station in Paris. The passengers we meet include real-life figures, and we jump between the lives and thoughts of these people as well as the men who are keeping the steam train running, An unusual and refreshing read.
This is a great story of people on a train facing danger--although only the perpetrator knows what's in store. Donoghue's story evokes wildly disparate characters and brings Paris and France to life. I loved immersing myself in the lives of these varied people.
