4.0

Read the original French version "tangente vers l'est". The evocative vocabulary was a challenge for my mediocre French, but it was still a propulsive, intriguing and deeply felt book. The two contrasting characters slammed together on a train, communicating without a common language, and finding a common purpose, combined with suspense and great imagery.
