The Sleeping Car Porter

A bit of a sleepy story, had not expected the romance element and did not really think it added to the story so it felt a bit forced.

It was ok.

The writing style was really pleasant but it failed to deliver any sense of tension or stake so while there was a plot it didn't feel like there was anything to get really invested in.

Worth reading for the quality of the prose and of the research the author put into her writing.
