The mom is Dr. Liz, a perfectionist. The daughter is Laurie, an artist type. It is hilarious to see the mocking, snide humor, and jokes, along with the emotional touches of love.
The story begins with Dr. Liz having a heart attack. While in the hospital, Laurie, to cheer her mother up, suggests a trip together. Off to Paris they go. The description and food, I'm sure, will boost tourism. It's beautiful. It's fun. Money is no object; it's not a concern.
Nice.
After Paris, they go to Norway, to look up ancestors. Laurie sees her mother in a new light. She sees where she came from and understands her mother in new ways.
The ending is a double take. By that, I mean that you will have to turn back a few pages and see if a mistake was made and were you reading it correctly. You'll figure it out and enjoy it all the more.
