Description
Set aboard the 1895 express from Granville to Paris, this richly imagined historical novel follows a diverse group of passengers whose private hopes, fears, and secrets converge during one fateful journey. As the train races toward the capital, lives from across the social spectrum intersect, revealing the era’s sharp divisions of class, gender, and privilege. Inspired by a dramatic real-life railway disaster, the story combines suspense with a compassionate exploration of human connection and the fragile forces that can change a life in an instant. Vividly atmospheric and deeply ensemble-driven, it showcases a talent for transforming history into intimate, emotionally resonant fiction.
