This is the latest in an occasional series of reviews of books that are likely to appeal to or particularly relate to the Rappahannock reader.
September brings the opening of school throughout the nation. No matter our age or that of our children (mine are all young “adults”), we all have the urge to go out and buy new notebooks and fresh pencils and pens, English class always seems to begin with a discussion of summer reading, assignments that aim to provide enjoyment and some challenge, the authors having received recognition and acclaim.
With this in mind, in late August. I pulled from the “New” shelf of the Rappahannock County Library “Night Train to Lisbon” by Pascal Mercier. I already had spent some summer leisure time pageturning the latest detective novel and perusing the latest nonfiction bestseller. I decided as 1 looked over this work of fiction that I could use some challenge. The cover read “over two million copies sold worldwide,” so I figured on some enjoyment as well.
“Night Train to Lisbon” lived up to both sets of expectations, Recently translated
