About this book
Conductor Ilsa Marchetti has worked the night train for nine years, collecting the stories passengers tell between stations — the confessions people only make at speed, in the dark, to a stranger they'll never see again.
Then a passenger boards with no ticket and a story that rearranges all the others. Told across eleven stopovers on one extraordinary journey, The Atlas of Small Hours is an adventure about the tales we tell to survive the night — and the one story that finally tells us.

“At 2:14 a.m., somewhere past the border, the woman in compartment six looked up from her tea and said: I have never told anyone this. The train, Ilsa thought, leaned in to listen.”— The Atlas of Small Hours by Marlowe Reed
