Three Words for Goodbye by Heather Webb, Hazel Gaynor
4.0
This is a delightful Summer read with a few surprises.
I really enjoyed the author's style and tone which were suited to the era of the late 1930s. The story of two estranged sisters being brought together by their grandmother may seem a bit tame but there are a number of twists and turns in the plot that keep you engrossed.
Clara and Madeleine don't see eye-to-eye on many things, and this is something their grandmother Violet wishes to change so she sends them on a European trip. Violet's life is nearing its end and there is unfinished business that she wants the girls to attend to during this voyage.
As the story unfolds so many issues arise - the role of women in society, discrimination, hatred, wealth: its privileges and its biases, and relationships.
A thoroughly enjoyable read.
