About this listen

Australia, 1946: 650 brides are departing for England to meet the men they married in wartime. But instead of the luxury liner they were expecting, they find themselves aboard an aircraft carrier, alongside a thousand men.

On the sun-baked decks, old loves and past promises become distant memories, and tensions are stretched to the limit as brides and husbands change their minds. And for Frances Mackenzie, it soon becomes clear that the journey is more important than the destination....

As per all of her books, Jojo Moyes has nailed it, again, with ship of brides. Such a good story which had me addicted!
The narrator absolutely amazed me also though, bringing the story to life, with each and every person having their own identity. You can tell exactly who is talking, before their names are even mentioned.
This is a must listen!!

I enjoyed every moment of the book , I felt I got to know each of the main characters really well and lived the ups and downs of their lives with them . A story of part of post war history I had not known even existed ,
Sorry when I finished the story I had enjoyed so much but happy to have shared in such a momentous time in the lives of the characters.

An enthralling story beautifully portrayed
