The 6:41 to Paris

The 6:41 to Paris / Jean-Philippe Blondel  146 pgs.

Cécile and Philippe had a brief but important affair in their early 20's.  It ended poorly mostly because Philippe was a real ass.  Now, 26 years later, they find themselves sitting next to each other on the train.  Cécile, once a plain girl with an interesting personality has turned into a well put together and more beautiful woman. Philippe, who was once the stunner hasn't aged well and is doughy and could not be mistaken for any younger than his actual age.  Cécile is still pretty mad about the way their relationship ended.  Philippe feels bad about it.  Neither wants to be the first to speak on the train.  Neither is sure the other recognizes their seat mate.  The book alternates between the two characters and fills you in on their past, and lives.  Amazing for its suspense...are they going to talk or not?

Read and find out!
