‘There isn’t a train I wouldn’t take, No matter where it’s going.”That dandy epigraph, from Edna St. Vincent Millay’s poem “Travel,” begins Emma Donoghue’s entertaining new novel. “The Paris Express” gets much of its momentum from the relentless energy of a train. Both the epigraph and Donoghue’s book beautifully capture the thrill and romance of train travel’s heyday.
