'A mesmerising story of love and hope...the best book that I have read this year' Penny, Reader Review The most heartbreaking historical fiction novel you will read this year from the USA Today bestseller! A train journey into the past A love that echoes through time Paddington Station, present day A young woman boards the sleeper train to Cornwall with only a beautiful emerald silk evening dress and an old, well-read diary full of sketches. Ellie Nightingale is a shy violinist who plays like her heart is broken. But when she meets fellow passenger Joe she feels like she has been given that rarest of gifts...a second chance. Paddington Station, 1944 Beneath the shadow of the war which rages across Europe, Alex and Eliza meet by chance. She is a gutsy painter desperate to get to the frontline as a war artist and he is a wounded RAF pilot now commissioned as a war correspondent. With time slipping away they make only one promise: to meet in Berlin when this is all over. But this is a time when promises are hard to keep, and hope is all you can hold in your heart. From a hidden Cornish cove to the blood-soaked beaches of Normandy in June 1944, this is an epic love story like no other. Perfect for fans of Pam Jenoff, Kate Quinn, Rachel Hore and Kate Furnivall.

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC. The book follows Eliza, a nurse and war artist, and Ellie, a fiddler who is on a journey to follow her granny’s friend’s journey. The book is split between these two women and the men they’re quickly falling in love with. Eliza’s story is one that had me on the edge of my seat the entire time and I kept waiting for a show to drop. This book was a wonderful surprise and I truly enjoyed it. Highly recommend. ( )

A lighter touch on WWII - more love story (stories, I should say), but of the "fade to black" variety. Not too graphic as to war-related carnage, but it definitely delves in several times. A pleasant read. ( )

INTERESTING WWII TIME-SLIP

I chose to read this novel because of the prerelease publicity and the fact that it was based on WWII Historical Fiction. Melissa Hudson penned this as a time slip which made for an interesting read. It is set starting in 1944 and the present day. I felt that she went into much more detail and invested much more time into the WWII story as compared to the present-day story. Her characters were all realistic and likable, her plot was good but I felt as though she left out much in the present-day story, her setting of the train car and the cottage at Cornwall stayed the same while everything else differed because of the war. This novel had a great premise but I just felt that the present day story ran out of steam in comparison to the detail put into the WWII section.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this novel by One More Chapter and NetGalley. The opinions expressed here are completely my own and without influence. ( )

Alex and Eliza meet in 1944 on a night train to Paddington. There is an instant connection, but their timing is off. Joe and Ellie meet in 2019 on another night train to Paddington, this one a train celebrating the war with music, dance, food and costume. There is an instant connection between them, too, and their timing looks like it could be perfect. But Ellie has serious health issues and hesitates to commit to a future that might not be. There is an intriguing connection between Alex and Joe and between Eliza and Ellie. How has the past affected the present?

The Night Train to Berlin paints a vivid picture not only of beautiful Cornwall but of the horrors of WWII and the roles people played. The danger and uncertainty, the hope battling the hopelessness, the fatigue, the pain, the love, the loss – all seem real. We get little glimpses throughout, starting with the prologue, that both raise and dash our hopes. In the present, things are going so well for Joe and Ellie, she is literally having the best time of her life, that you want to jump on the train and tell her to be brave, to go for it!

The connections between all the characters seem almost magical. There’s the train to Paddington and Cornwall, of course, and a cottage and a journal and a clock. I wish the author had taken more advantage of these magical elements and connections and given us more details and glimpses into the lives of all four of these people, instead of more often providing vague and confusing hints that many times made this seem more like a mystery we are trying to solve with clues than an historical romance.

Thanks to the author and Harper Collins UK One More Chapter for providing an advanced copy of The Night Train to Berlin via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. I enjoyed this book and do not hesitate to recommend it. ( )
