Description
When a hijacked train carries an imaginative boy into the unexpected, he is swept into a journey that feels both comic and hauntingly real. Along the way, he encounters a wild, unforgettable woman and begins to piece together the story of his Israeli policeman father—one that leads to startling discoveries about his family’s past. Blending adventure with intimate character insight, the novel explores how hope survives amid chaos, how memory reshapes identity, and how ordinary people endure when institutions fail them. With its lively, colloquial momentum and deep emotional sensitivity, the book turns a road-trip premise into a modern, compassionate meditation on loyalty, resilience, and the stories we inherit.
