    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    "The innocence of childhood collides with the stark aftermath of war in this wrenching and ultimately redemptive tale of family, seemingly impossible choices, and the winding paths to destiny, which sometimes take us to places far beyond our imaginings." - Lisa Wingate,

    "The innocence of childhood collides with the stark aftermath of war in this wrenching and ultimately redemptive tale of family, seemingly impossible choices, and the winding paths to destiny, which sometimes take us to places far beyond our imaginings." - Lisa Wingate, author of Before We Were Yours and The Book of Lost Friends

    "The Children's Train is a sympathetic, well-crafted novel filled with vacation-worthy sights and authentic experiences from an Italy that balances folk tradition with modernity." - New York Journal of Books

    "Ardone's beautifully crafted story explores the meaning of identity and belonging...recommended to fans of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels." - Library Journal

    "Ardone's novel will appeal to fans of Elena Ferrante, but it stands on its own as a fictionalized account of an exceptional-and exceptionally complicated-social experiment." - BookPage

    "[The Children's Train] leaves you with a great sense of the importance of family and the tough decisions that must be faced as a result of that love." - Shelf Awareness

    "The novel is poignant, delicate, [and] profound." - Bruno Elpis

    "The Children's Train is for those who want to jump into a painful but hopeful historical period and for those who love fiction from the point of view of the little ones." - Elena Naldi, Leggere a Colori

    "Amerigo's voice won me over. I devoured the pages of his story, because in his stories as a child there is so much lightheartedness and fear at the same time that one cannot help but love." - Scheggia tra le Pagine
