The Train Now Departing - Two Novellas by Martha Grimes, April 29, 2007
This review is from: The Train Now Departing: 2 Novellas (Hardcover)
Description from the book back cover:
Subtle and perceptive, atmospheric and lyrical, these two beautifully accomplished novellas are deceptively profound in their exploration of emotional isolation and indentity within human relationships. Each of the two thematically linked stories centers on a single woman living a quiet, well-ordered, seemingly contented life. In each, those lives are gradually altered by meals shared with male acquaintances. Though distinct in characterization and mood, both tales are passionately told in Grime's inimitable voice. They combine the singular characters and richly textured narrative that readers have come to expect from this internationally bestselling storyteller.
