ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Girl on the Train" by Paula Hawkins is a psychological thriller centered on Rachel, a woman grappling with alcoholism and a failed marriage. She becomes obsessed with the seemingly perfect couple she observes from her train, projecting her desires onto their lives. When the wife, Megan, disappears, Rachel becomes entangled in the investigation, but her unreliable memory and distorted perceptions make her an untrustworthy witness. The story explores themes of obsession, the illusion of appearances, and the hidden darkness lurking beneath the surface of ordinary lives.
