Publisher's summary

Raimund Gregorious - Mundus, as his students affectionately call him - is a predictable character. A bookish Latin professor, well-respected but perhaps a little boring. One stormy morning, he encounters a beautiful, distraught Portuguese woman in a red leather coat... Later that day Raimund will realise: that moment changed everything.

All of a sudden, nothing in his life feels right. His restlessness is further fuelled when he finds a book by a little-known Portuguese writer, Amadeo de Prado. The appearance of the mysterious woman, and Prado's prescient words, all seem to tell him the same thing: that he must leave everything behind.

So, early the next morning, he packs a bag and boards the night train to Lisbon on a restless journey across Europe and deep within himself in the hope of discovering someone who will make him feel alive and connected to himself and the world once more.

A wonderful and movingly deep story

Night train to Lisbon is a journey of introspection and self awareness. Simply, Loved it.

The performance could have been better, the voice is quite soft when some characters speak

No time for the night train

Sorry had to give up, after a grinding eight chapters I finally gave in. The idea of the story was great but it just never got anywhere and was so slow it became boring. Although the narration was excellent the listener would have to have the patience of a saint to get through the detail, by then you have forgotten what was happening. A real shame, so many chapters gone to waste.
