If she was in Paris when the weather was fine, Lia loved to bring a picnic lunch to the peaceful , groomed gardens of the square. Though nothing remained of the citadel of the Knights Templar, she imagined its imposing square tower surrounded by high crenellated walls; she could hear the hoofbeats of approaching horses and the clanking of armor and ringing of steel as knights practiced swordplay in the courtyard.

The 6.41 to ParisClick on the book cover to know more about the book

I wonder what defines me, now. What characteristics I had already ten, fifteen, or twenty years ago, and that I didn’t try to do anything about. Like separating the soft part of the bread from the crust and rolling it into tiny balls, while continuing to talk with someone, who would be transfixed, even concerned: he’s not going to go and eat those things, is he? Oh yes he is. Like making sure the alarm on the clock radio is set at the right time, checking four times in a row, otherwise I have to start all over. In another life, I must have had many obsessive-compulsive behaviors; in this life, that’s the only one I have.

There are things the girl was not telling me, secrets she did not feel she had the right to divulge–this younger generation believes their elders have had no experience with life.
