Noč v Evropi

At the end of August 1998 a night train leaves Paris for Amsterdam full of young travellers on interrail passes. In five linked chapters the novel moves from compartment to compartment: a couple who barely catch the train and quarrel; a Slovene girl, Nina, who befriends a pregnant stranger travelling to The Hague for a reason of her own; a gang of young men boasting about the places and girls they have known; a girl who escapes them and meets a quiet young man who is not as harmless as he looks. Shared bottles of water, cigarettes and train tickets connect the passengers, and an epilogue closes their stories into a circle.
