<b>NATIONAL BESTSELLER</b><br> <br><b>From the bestselling and “soul-stirring” (<i>Oprah Daily</i>) author of <i>Room</i>, a sweeping historical “nail-biter” (<i>People</i>) of a novel about the infamous 1895 disaster at the Paris Montparnasse train station.</b><br><br>Based on an 1895 disaster that went down in history when it was captured in a series of surreal, extraordinary photographs, <i>The Paris Express</i> is a propulsive novel set on a train packed with a fascinating cast of characters who hail from as close as Brittany and as far as Russia, Ireland, Algeria, Pennsylvania, and Cambodia. Members of parliament hurry back to Paris to vote; a medical student suspects a girl may be dying; a secretary tries to convince her boss of the potential of moving pictures; two of the train’s crew build a life away from their wives; a young anarchist makes a terrifying plan, and much more.<br> <br>From an author whose “writing is superb alchemy” (Audrey Niffenegger, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author), <i>The Paris Express</i> is an evocative masterpiece that effortlessly captures the politics, glamour, chaos, and speed that marked the end of the 19th century.
