Trains and Lovers

The characters' stories intertwine during their travels, but I wondered if the trains themselves were meant to represent their personal journeys. What do others think?

The book's warmth comes from these tiny moments, but I'm curious whether this was a conscious choice or just natural storytelling. Would love to hear thoughts!

The lightheartedness added a unique charm, but I wondered if it might overshadow some of the deeper emotional stakes. Did others feel the same?
