The Ship of Brides

by Jojo Moyes
$10.90
The Ship of Brides
The Ship of Brides

Post-war brides' poignant maritime journey.

Imagine being whisked away to a new life post-WWII, on a ship filled with hope, anticipation, and a touch of mystery. That's the voyage on which "The Ship of Brides" takes you. Jojo Moyes expertly crafts a narrative that merges the uncertainty of a new beginning with the emotional turmoil of leaving one's past behind. It's not just a historical romance; it's a powerful exploration of the human capacity for resilience and connection amidst monumental change.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The year is 1946, and all over the world young women are crossing the seas in their thousands en route to the men they married in wartime, and an unknown future. In Sydney, Australia, four women join 650 other brides on an extraordinary voyage to England aboard HMS Victoria, which still carries not just arms and aircraft but a thousand naval officers and men. Rules of honour, duty, and separation are strictly enforced, from the aircraft carrier's Captain down to the lowliest young stoker. But the men and the brides will find their lives intertwined in ways the Navy could never have imagined. And Frances Mackenzie the enigmatic young bride whose past comes back to haunt her thousands of miles from home will find that sometimes the journey is more important than the destination.
