The Train by Georges Simenon
4.0
Georges Simenon fascinates me. He writes these hauntingly taut stories that have a surprise ending. I've read both of his Inspector Maigret mysteries and what has been called his "Hard Novels", and Simenon has grown on me.
The Train is one of the Hard Novels. It's the beginning of WWII and the Germans are marching through Belgium. Marcel Feron and his pregnant wife and daughter have decided to flee to the south of France, to escape the Germans. They are able to get on the train, but Marcel is separated from his wife and daughter before the train leaves the station. The story is now about what happens to Marcel from being separated from is family until he meets up with them again.
