"Night Train to Lisbon is a sensuous tale of the pursuit of love and passion against all odds, set in the 1930s when the world was on the brink of war and suspicion of loyalty, motivation, and intent -- to both country and lover -- was at flood tide. Carson Weatherell is a privileged young American woman traveling in Europe in 1936, courtesy of her aunt and uncle who live abroad and have kindly offered to show her the sights. A bout of illness and self-pity almost send her back to her sheltered Connecticut life, but on an overnight train to Lisbon, she suddenly can't imagine returning home. On that train she meets Alec Breve, a young British scientist traveling with a group of colleagues -- and in his company, Carson finds that she's enjoying herself, certainly for the first time since she left New York Harbor, and quite possibly for the first time in her life. In Lisbon, Carson and Alec begin an intense love affair, but their bliss is threatened when Carson's uncle reveals that Alec might be a spy for Germany. He insists that it is essential that Alec be trapped and brought to justice, and the only person who can deliver an unsuspecting Alec to the proper authorities is Carson. Desperate to believe in her new love -- and terrified of discovering she has fallen for a traitor -- Carson must choose whether to prove her lover innocent or leave him to face the consequences on his own. A riveting page-turner, "Night Train to Lisbon travels back to the days when war loomed, the Mitford sisters dazzled, and night trains brimmed with romance and intrigue, delivering a mesmerizing novel of a love that must truly conquer all in order to survive.

Right Down The Middle... -
While I enjoyed this book, I did not finish it thinking, 'Wow, what a great book!'. It was ok...nothing more, nothing less.
Carson is a privileged young woman in 1936 Connecticut. She travels abroad to spend the summer with her Aunt Jane and Uncle Lawrence, and while on the night train to Lisbon, she meets Alec. They have a whirlwind romance, and she spends every minute she can spare with him over the course of the summer.
Long story short, she loves him, then finds out he betrayed her...she goes home, is miserable but tries to get on with her life, then finds out he may not of betrayed her after all, and there's the finale of the book...with a surprise twist at the end (which was odd because it seemed like it was just thrown in there, it really made no sense to add that last surprise).
In the end, it was likeable enough. The main characters were only somewhat developed, but the secondary characters were hardly developed at all. I recommend this if you have it laying around the house (as I did) but don't go out of your way to read it.

Not her finest novel -
I have read all of Emily Grayson's books and I absolutely loved them....except Night Train to Lisbon. I think Ms. Grayson is a very talented author and her other books really touch my heart. But this latest novel lacked characters that I could like as people. At best, Carson is a charming girl who is stubborn and willful. At worst, she comes off as a rich, priviledged girl who is spoiled rotten and does not bother to concern herself with how others around her feel. Her beau, Alec is also hard to like. He is pushy and helpless and appears to prey on innocent girls. He is a fast mover and seems all wrong for Carson. As for the other characters in the book, Carson's parents and aunt/uncle are boring.
I was really quite disappointed in this book. I would suggest that if you read this book or want to read this book, just don't judge the author by this book alone. My favorite book of hers is The Gazebo, followed by The Fountain.
Another Good Book by Emily Grayson -
Since I read Emily Grayson's first book, The Gazebo, and than went on to read her other titles, I have long thought she is a highly underated writer. Her books, which are reminiscent of Nicholas Sparks' themes, describe both the spirit and emotions of people falling in love. In Night Train to Lisbon, her newest book, she presents her readers with two star crossed lovers at a time in the world's history which proved to be both passionate and tragic.
In 1936, Carson Weatherell, the daughter of wealthy parents is looking forward to a suumer of leisure after her last year of school. The young man who is fond of her is going to Yale in the fall and it is assumed that they will become engaged and married within a few years. Carson isn't quite sure what she will do with her life and wonders if marriage is all that she can lookforward to. Coming from a sheltered society which expects nothing more from the daughter of wealthy parents to marry the right man, an opporunity presents Carson which will prove to be the adventure of a lifetime for her and those in her midst.
Sailing to Europe meet her aunt and uncle, Carosn is going to spend the summer with them whiel talk of war is everywhere. Carson is accompanied by a chaperone but still has plenty of tiem to think about her future. She is alomst ripe for something out of the ordinary when on a night train to Lisbon, she meets Alec Breve, a bristish physicist who is also spending part of the summer in Lisbon. Carson and Alec are immediately attracted to each other. And they see one naother in Lisbon there love for each other grows stronger and strnger. But during this whirlwind romance, Carson is told some rather unsettling news about Alec when her uncle suggets Alec he may be someone other than the British physicist he claims to be.
The book unfolds from here with a tale of intrigue, unconditional love and a startling revelation at the end. It is a sentimental read which goes by much too quickly. If I had one criticism about the book it was that it wasn' tlong enough since I so enjoyed reading it.
I hughly recommend this book and other titles by Emily Grayson which include The Gazebo, The Observatory and Waterloo Staion, also set during WWII. If you're looking for books which will take you away, consider readign these titles. I think you will find as I do not, only a good author, but pleasing and comforting reads as the pages turn.
Great book -
I'm a big fan of Emily Grayson and in my opinion, this book did not disappoint. I loved the characters of Carson and Alec and I loved their story. There's also an interesting twist in the end that really surprised me but at the same time didn't.
