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....

I love JoJo‘s books, but found this one slightly hard to follow, with different timelines coming up but no titles to let you know who or when the chapter was written for.

Not as good as some of her others.

This was so enjoyable due in most part to the very gifted narrator who slipped seamlessly between characters I sometimes struggle with narrators but this lady was fantastic I really didn't even notice it was just the one person it was that good. I loved the story very touching and loved the history, great listen sad its finished. cannot recommend highly enough

I found this book very difficult to get into but I plodded on & eventually I was caught up in the lives of the ‘brides’. Well written & the narration was excellent. It was very sad in places & I found myself completely absorbed into the story. A really good book to listen to. I would recommend this book but be prepared to persevere at first.

A good read

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found the story fascinating from a historical perspective as well as engaging. The narrator is wonderful, perfectly capturing all the myriad of characters. I love Jojo Moyes’ books but can find that they can be a bit hit and miss - this is definitely a hit.

Charming story
