THREE WORDS FOR GOODBYE by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb

Estranged Sisters Clara and Madelaine are sent by their dying grandmother on a journey to Paris, Venice and Vienna as World War II approaches. In each city they are to deliver a letter to someone Grandmother Violet knew many years earlier. The trip is one of luxury - they take the Queen Mary first class to Paris – but fraught with the growing threat of Hitler. As the sisters complete the journey they discover much about themselves and about their grandmother and the life she lead forty years earlier. Secrets are discovered and sisterly affection may be rediscovered. An interesting story that unfolds in layers as the sisters travel. 4 of 5 stars
