Night Train to Lisbon by Pascal Mercier

European novel- story of a teacher of classical languages who in an instance makes a life change, leaves teaching, and spends some time tracking down the family and associates of a philosopher. All wrapped up with the resistance movement during Salazars dictatorship in Portugal.
Call me superficial but I found it desperately boring. I'll take it up to the cottage (a hard copy!) and perhaps someone else will give it a try before I take it to the second hand bookstore. j
