Trains and Boats and Planes — Killen McNeill

Love for Harry Moore will be forever linked with Marie, the beautiful girl from Alsace. Ever since his magical teenage encounter with her in a tiny holiday resort in Donegal, it has never lived up to his expectations. Thirty years later, Harry, middle-aged but not quite disillusioned, travels to Strasbourg to take up the search for Marie and the innocence and longings of his youth.
