The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins (2015). This is a pretty good psychological novel. I am quite delighted that I picked this one up at the secondhand bookstore. It is about Rachel, a woman who has found in alcohol a way to cope with her broken life and marriage. The story is very good and original, and I won’t reveal too much of it here, because I hope more people will read this book. But, in addition to the really good story, what I like the most is how Hawkins is able to communicate deep emotions. Some passages are so personal and private that it almost feels like I am peeking into someone else’s life. I read quietly and motionless because I don’t want Rachel to know that I’m aware of what she did. Highly recommended.
