Synopsis

Cécile, a stylish forty-seven-year-old, has spent the weekend visiting her parents in a provincial town southeast of Paris. By early Monday morning, she’s exhausted. These trips back home are always stressful and she settles into a train compartment with an empty seat beside her. But it’s soon occupied by a man she instantly recognizes: Philippe Leduc, with whom she had a passionate affair that ended in her brutal humiliation thirty years ago. In the fraught hour and a half that ensues, their express train hurtles towards the French capital. Cécile and Philippe undertake their own face to face journey—In silence? What could they possibly say to one another?—with the reader gaining entrée to the most private of thoughts. This is a psychological thriller about past romance, with all its pain and promise.

I will be reviewing this book in September. It’s translated from French, and while t’s a bit rough in editing, I’m sure that will all be corrected for the final draft.

    Sounds intriguing. My teaser on my adult blog comes from this romantic suspense title – Hell or High Water by Julie Ann Walker. Happy reading!

  7. What a great teaser! I couldn’t help but chuckle after reading it. This does sound like a good one.

  8. Sounds like a fascinating way to tell their stories — through their thoughts. I’ll read this book just to see how that’s done!
