Central Station by Lavie Tidhar

I kept expecting this book to have a plot. It doesn't. There are lots of interesting details and I enjoyed the discussions of faith, but I'd have been happier reading it if it was kept as related short stories instead of trying to piece them together into a cohesive narrative. It should not be necessary to have a character list for a book this short.
Also bothered me that he felt a need to mention two male barely-characters getting married 3-4 times throughout the book (for no particular reason; doesn't have a bearing on the plot or character development) but can't manage to include more than fleeting conversations between female characters.
