'Ratchets up the pace until it's hurtling along as fast as the train itself' - Alice Winn, author of In Memoriam

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Room and The Pull of The Stars, Emma Donoghue takes readers on a thrilling ride through a simmering turn-of-the-century Paris on the edge of a dazzling future.

Autumn, 1895. Paris is as chaotic as it is glamorous, with industry and invention creating huge wealth and terrible poverty. One morning, an anarchist boards the ill-fated Granville to Paris express train, determined to make her mark on history.

Aboard the train are others from across the globe: the railway crew who have built a life together away from their wives, a little boy travelling alone for the first time, an artist far from home, a wealthy statesman and his invalid wife, and a young woman with a secret.

Truths are revealed and relationships forged as the train speeds towards the City of Light and a future that will change everything . . .

Inspired by a famous rail disaster, The Paris Express is a brilliant historical thriller.

'An edge-of-your-seat historical thriller that I couldn't put down' - Shelby Van Pelt, author of Remarkably Bright Creatures
