She entered the station, wearing a white leopard-print dress that was short enough to show offher legs. Her hair slid down the back of her neck in a curtain of gold, which shimmered as itpassed through the updraught. There was a conspicuous ring on her finger. Her head turnedand her eyes almost met with mine. I looked away.

After a disastrous holiday with his girlfriend in Madrid, Lawrence Williams takes the train back toParis where he is studying art history. Lawrence is twenty years old and discovering how tosee the world, which means he doesn't mind too much when he gets stranded at the border.

That's when

lodie Lavelle enters his field of vision. She might be twice his age but she'samused by the boy's earnest charm. She decides to entertain herself by educating him in therules of her society, treating him to an unforgettable evening in Biarritz.

But

lodie has not counted on what Lawrence might teach her in return, or how much theirunlikely encounter will mark them both. The Train to Paris is a surprising and compelling lovestory.
