Trains and Lovers by Alexander McCall-Smith

This novella is too elegant. It is a series of confessions about love made by four passengers in a compartment in a train on the way from Edinburgh to London. There is a long winded explanation about love and confession at the beginning but honestly it just didn’t do it for me. I thought it was more banal than anything else. The subtlety of it, and I’m sure other people will find it subtle, was lost on me.
