The moment Martha noticed Raymond on the train, everything her mother warned against erupted - romantic notions, palpitating heart, the desire to write it all in a novel and tell the world.
Martha lived and wrote that love story until the day Raymond handed her a sketch. “Want to see a picture of the girl I plan to marry?” The penciled profile resembled Martha… But when Raymond went away, she knew. She wasn’t the girl he planned to marry.
David was her father’s apprentice, everything Martha’s mother said made a good husband - hardworking, no romantic tendencies, no tolerance for writing about it.
Martha added a fictional happy ending to her and Raymond’s story and published it. Cleansed herself of romantic love, ready to marry David. Until a copy of her book appeared - full of sketches - Raymond’s version of their love story - drawings that enticed her heart to beat once again.

It took awhile for me to settle into the story within the story and the repetition that presented.
Amy Deuchler, especially in the later chapters, effectively distinguishes the male characters. However, I was distracted by the too staccato and monotone inflection of the narration and main character. A smoother delivery would be to phrase words into thought-groupings, rather than punching each word at the same inflection.
I recommend lovers of historical fiction to listen to Love on a Train.
I requested a free copy of this audio book and here offer my honest review.

I’m going to be honest, I typically don’t read stories set in or around World War II, but this was a great exception to that case.
We get to see how the era affected multiple characters, especially Martha, which this story is from her point of view. Some people may feel strongly about why she accepted certain things going on in the story, but I think some people may not understand the era and what was acceptable roles for both genders at the time.
Even knowing certain roles and expectations of both men and women, could not make me truly like Martha’s fiancé David, or for the most part her Mama (Ann). There are certain things you do learn on the end of Martha’s mother, but still, I had a hard time understanding based on those facts, why her mother still was pushing so hard on Martha to marry David.
This is a book I feel like I may re-read again in the future. I really do enjoy reading books where a character writes a romance book, regardless of the naysayers, and enjoys romance in general. I thought the narrator did a good job as well.

A Unique Story Set After World War II

What a sweet but also so real story... It perfectly describes the life and constrains of a woman growing up in a post-war society, facing the limitations imposed by conventions and family rules. It is an eye opener for those that feel entitled today to anything their hearts and minds desire and whose success is only limited by their aspirations. It is so refreshing to listen to a tale that is a clean love story, but also the pursuit of one's dreams against all odds. There are so many 'almost' moments in the book, which let us hope that one of them will finally be the eye opener, the 'carpe diem' opportunity, but they come and go and it seems that the inevitable is just that. Martha has her moment of glory when her book, her own love story, is published and achieves an unexpected success. But that seems to be the end of her writing career and love story. A more conventional life is ahead of her as dutiful wife and daughter. There is no room for aspirations, dreams, an artistic career. Martha has to be content with memories of a special encounter on a train with the man who could have fulfilled those dreams. Now the train is empty without him and Martha needs to go on and accept her destiny. Or does she?
Beautifully written and narrated, this audiobook will transport you back to a time when not everything was simpler, but in many ways, much more complicated and restricted for an ambitious female who dared to pursue her dreams of love, passion, and ambition.

This is sort of a historical fiction set shortly after WWII. A young woman named Martha meets Raymond as she travels to work on a train. She becomes interested in him and writes a romance book about what could be. Her mother has other ideas, matching her up withe her father's apprentice. The book takes the listener on her journey to find herself and what she wants from life. A really good book about self discovery.
The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Amy Deuchler is easy to listen to.

The narration was good! Animated when need be. Very well performed, but I thought all the male voices were disappointing in sound. Especially the preacher. He even sounded a bit haughty.
But this story is just soo good! I still had to give it 5 stars.
