Reviews

"In her short story The Train, Cendrine weaves a compelling narrative that quickly draws you in, making you care about her characters both naturally and organically, the emotional connection makes them very real to behold. Just like the journey itself, you find yourself getting caught up and travelling alongside with them, indulging in the intrigue that surrounds the protagonist; and before you know it, you have found yourself in a position of admiration and sympathy for the protagonist with all that she has been through.

Cendrine makes the writing process seem effortless but it is her engaging dialogue and sharp observations that drive the story to its compelling conclusion and ultimate redemption for those involved. I enjoyed this tale and its immersion immensely, this story showcases Cendrine's emotional growth and storytelling abilities with quiet confidence and a careful undercurrent of understated panache." - David Ellis, Author

"The Train is a hauntingly sweet story with undertones of love, forgiveness, and loss. Rarely does a short story use characters and setting to evoke emotions so masterfully. I highly recommend Cendrine Marrouat's The Train. Her pointed, poignant storytelling conveys an emotional story that will stick with you long after you finish reading." - Katrina Moody, Writer & Editor

"The writing was simple, but powerful. As soon as I started reading, I was drawn in. It didn't take long to read, but it was a thriller, and I found myself comparing it to Murder on the Orient Express and The Lady Vanishes. There was suspense, and a good story that made an impression." - Kelly Marie Purdy

"Short stories very rarely build the setting of the book the way this author has. A story that will stay with me for a long time." - Alyson Walton 

"A terrific, poignant tale about love and forgiveness. From the beginning, I was captivated by this story. An easy and worthwhile read due to the adeptness of the writer. To be able to capture so much emotion in a short story makes me look forward to reading more fiction from this author.To be able to capture so much emotion in a short story makes me look forward to reading more fiction from this author." - Sara

"This is a wonderful story crafted brilliantly with dialogue. It weaves the past and the present together with an almost dream-like quality. It is a story of hurt and healing through the power of forgiveness. If you need a short read to bring a little peace to your day, this is it." - RDD
