really liked it

This is quite an adventure story.. taking place across Russia, on board the trans-Siberian heading east.
A 20 yr old young man. Aliosha…a conscript for the Russian military, (one of about 100 on this train headed to an unknown post) has already been beaten by two fellow new recruits makes the decision that he will escape off this train.
On the train he meets a 35 yr old French woman..she is escaping her Russian lover..
She is a help to him..
A very suspenseful novella of fugitives, flight, and freedom.

Thank you Jaidee, I did have a lovely Christmas with my family ( four adult daughters..their spouses and my eight grandchildren, and my sister.
You just sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of your day! Christmas blessings to you! xx
