A review by ericfheiman
The Train by Georges Simenon

3.0

A melancholy love story set in World War II France and Belgium that brings a rare intimacy to how the conflict affected everyday people caught in the crossfire. The Train also explores how the chaos of war upends the emotional states of those involved. How fear and uncertainty can paradoxically open one up to passion and intimacy not previously thought possible. A quietly potent book that stays with you despite its slim size.
