The London Train by Tessa Hadley is comprised of two stories focused around unraveling relationships. There is a connection between the two stories, but the connection is inconsequential and tenuous.
As a result, the novel does not completely work - each story is a bit slow and ends abruptly and unsatisfactorily.
One of the main reasons I picked up the book and stuck it out is because
my boyfriend is English. I felt that by reading the book, I was showing my support and solidarity.As a result, the novel does not completely work - each story is a bit slow and ends abruptly and unsatisfactorily.
Instead, I realized that a better (and more enjoyable) way of doing this is to watch Downton Abbey together.
