Recenzje

"Utterly delightful and the perfect escape. I loved being swept away to 1930s Paris, Venice, and Vienna alongside Maddie and Clara who, despite their differences, have come together to fulfill their dying grandmother's final wish...A heartwarming and wonderful story about the power of forgiveness and the unbreakable bond of sisters." - Natasha Lester, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Secret

"Vibrant and laced with fascinating historical references...this tale of the complicated love between sisters and the mending of fractured relationships will move you, entertain you, and maybe even inspire you to seek out a truer path of your own." - Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Lost Names and The Forest of Vanishing Star

"Illuminating the importance of family and the power of forgiveness, Three Words for Goodbye beautifully renders the romance of France, Italy and Austria with picturesque streets and culinary delights...I couldn't stop turning the novel's pages until I'd reached the high-octane conclusion." - Meredith Jaeger, USA Today bestselling author of The Dressmaker's Dowry

"What a treat! Three Words for Goodbye is an absorbing, escapist, uplifting read... Reading this novel is like reclining in a comfortable beach chair with warm sun on your skin and a glass of champagne at your elbow: you won't want it to end." - Gill Paul, bestselling author of The Secret Wife

"The perfect escapist read, full of heart." - Liz Fenwick, award-winning author of The Path to the Sea

"Three glorious locations, two different but equally engaging sisters, family secrets to uncover and hearts to be won and lost, plus one big, shocking finale, Three Words for Goodbye is the very best of immersive, escapist historical fiction. I loved it from the first page. " - Liz Trenow, author of The Forgotten Seamstress

"Oh, how I adored this. I missed Clara and Madeleine every time I had to put the book down and felt like I was with them on their journey." - Prima Magazine

"Charming historical fiction." - Booklist

"Three Words for Goodbye takes us there: inside the cultural and class norms, the social pressures, the sense of duty and propriety, unrealized dreams, plus all the complexities that test and form relationships along the way: from sisterhood to family, courtship, engagement, friendship, even an encounter with a charming stranger." - BookTrib

"The suspense of decisions to be made and secrets to be revealed are intensified as the sisters travel to each destination. In Three Words for Goodbye, the anticipation of what lies ahead for Clara and Maddy adds to this enriching, enjoyable journey." - Historical Novels Review
