The excitements

Wray, C. J.2024
Books
Meet the Williamson sisters, Britain's most treasured World War II veterans. Now in their 90s, Josephine and Penny are in demand at commemorative events. Despite their age, they're in great form - sprightly and sparky, and always in search of their next 'excitement'. This time it's a trip to Paris to receive the Légion d'honneur, accompanied by their devoted great-nephew, Archie. Keen historian Archie believes his great aunts had minor roles in the Women's Royal Navy and the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry, but that's only half the story. There's a reason sweet Auntie Penny can dispatch a would-be mugger with a brolly. This trip to Paris is not what it seems either. Scandal and crime have quietly trailed the sisters since the war. Now armed with new information about an old adversary, these much decorated veterans intend to settle scores, avenge lost friends, and pull off one last heist.
