A lovely read, at times hard to out down, a grandmother's love for her grand-daughters, the story was interesting. The adventure and trepidation of travelling across the globe, the modes of transport of the era, and the relationships all made for an enjoyable experience. (

I really enjoyed this book of travel and sisterhood. It kept me turning the pages and staying up too late a couple of times because I couldn't put it down (

This book is many things - a love letter to travel, a story of sisters rebuilding their relationship, a tour through Europe on the eve of WWII, a tale of love and death and saying goodbye. The sister Clara and Madeleine are tasked by their dying grandmother to travel to Paris, Venice, and Vienna to deliver some deeply personal letters. The sisters are initially reluctant, especially as their personal relationship is strained, but as the trip progresses, they learn to understand each other better and to understand themselves better. Each sister experiences the trip differently, but they eventually emerge closer. And of course, they witness pieces of history along the way, as they encounter Mussolini's followers in Italy and Nazi violence towards the Jews in Vienna. Overall, this book made for a good read and one certain to be appreciated by fans of WWII-era historical fiction. (

An excellent story that takes you on an incredible journey. Two sisters, both as opposite as can be, undertake a mission from their grandmother. They set out for Europe to deliver some letters. Along the way, they discover things about themselves and their family that surprise them.

The writing was beautiful. I loved the descriptions of the Queen Mary, Orient Express, and Hindenburg. These authors have such a way with words.

Excellent reading. (
