Stephen And Violet (U) (Ulverscroft Large Print Series)

Marooned in a Greek hospital, unable to speak Greek or to pay the bill, Violet Sharpe sends for her 18 year-old great-nephew to drive her home across Europe.  Separated by more than half a century, both unable to cope with the rigours of travel, beset by financial problems and a dodgy motor, they make unlikely travelling companions, yet during the journey a comradeship does develop, a share sense of isolation and of life waiting in the wings.
