Summary

In their twilight years, two 80-something sisters, Esther and Minnie are coaxed from their easy chairs and their comfort zone of carpet slippers, crochet hooks, jigsaws, and rummage sales to fulfill the dying wish of a dear friend.

They go on to undertake a road trip of sorts in Esther's beloved classic Trafalgar blue Morris Traveller, affectionately known as "Vivien". The trip, however, is no minor errand to return late library books. Theirs was to be an epic undertaking of some 7,000 miles, from Lodon's Whitechapel to Raipur, deep in the heart of the Indian Subcontinent, passing through no less than 10 countries along the way, including Poland, Russia, China, and Tibet.

Esther and Minnie's saga, of course, does no go without the occasional hitch, but the sisters eternal love for one another and their quintessential innocence and innate kindness stand them in good stead when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds.

Famous Five for the Elderly

Really tried to like this book but got to chapter 13 and could carry on no further. If I heard “dear” said one more time I think I would have screamed.
Extremely annoying narration also. Couldn’t bear it.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
