Three Words For Goodbye : A Novel by Hazel Gaynor-340 pagesNew York, 1937: When estranged sisters Clara and Madeleine learn their grandmother Violet is dying, they agree to fulfill her last wish: to travel across Europe—together. They are to deliver three letters, in which Violet will say goodbye to those she hasn’t seen since traveling to Europe forty years earlier.
The eldest sister Clara sees the trip as an inconvenient detour before her wedding to millionaire Charles Hancock, but it’s also a chance to embrace her love of art. Younger sister Madeleine looks forward to the opportunity to develop her ambitions to report on the growing threat of the Nazi party and Mussolini’s control in Italy.
Constantly at odds with each other, through the sights of Paris and Venice, Clara and Madeleine wonder if they can fulfil Violet’s wish, until a shocking truth about their family brings them closer together. But as they reach Vienna to deliver the final letter, old grudges resurface and the sisters are at odds.
Their final mode of transportation may be their last! Lots of twists and turns. I LOVED it. Hazel Gaynor is now on the top of my list for historical authors.
