From Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb, the bestselling authors of Meet
Me in Monaco, comes a coming-of-age novel set in pre-WWII Europe,
perfect for fans of Jennifer Robson, Beatriz Williams, and Kate
Quinn.
Three cities, two sisters, one chance to correct the past . . .
New York, 1937: When estranged sisters Clara and Madeleine Sommers learn
their grandmother 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; a journey inspired by famed reporter,
Nellie Bly.
Clara, ever-dutiful, 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. Budding journalist Madeleine relishes the
opportunity to develop her ambitions to report on the growing threat of
Hitler's Nazi party and Mussolini's control in Italy.
Constantly at odds with each other as they explore the luxurious Queen
Mary, the Orient Express, and 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 threaten their
reconciliation again. As political tensions rise, and Europe feels
increasingly volatile, the pair are glad to head home on the
Hindenburg, where fate will play its hand in the final stage of their
journey.
