Great read. The author wrote a story that was interesting and moved at a pace that kept me engaged. The characters were easy to invest in.

Memorable! I received a copy from NetGalley and this is my honest review. I really enjoyed this book and it still has not left my mind though I have read other books since I finished it. A great cross-country journey by rail filled with food and fun. I just loved the wit of the main character! I will definitely be recommending this book.

The Dining Car is a fun look at life aboard the private Pullman cars that ride America’s rails. Jack and Wanda staff the car that tows Horace Button, magazine writer extraordinaire to his speaking engagements. When Horace’s politician sister dies, and he inherits care of his 11 year old niece, the retinue multiplies. Jack and Wanda are the true adults here, and with humor and sensitivity, they take over the circus and away we go.

Sort of Fitzgheraldish. An appealing read if you like that kind of thing. It didn't really blow my mind, but a good book to buy before a long train journey probably.

I received this copy from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

An interesting read, and one I enjoyed. Being a bit of a foodie, and a bit of a fan of old trains, this was right up my alley. Thanks for the opportunity to read it!
