Ilustration As Books The Ship of Brides
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Giver of Stars, in an earlier work available in the U.S. for the first time, a post-WWII story of the war brides who crossed the seas by the thousands to face their unknown futures. 1946. World War II has ended and all over the world, young women are beginning to fulfill the promises made to the men they wed in wartime. In Sydney, Australia, four women join 650 other war brides on an extraordinary voyage to England—aboard HMS Victoria, which still carries not just arms and aircraft but a thousand naval officers. Rules are strictly enforced, from the aircraft carrier’s captain down to the lowliest young deckhand. But the men and the brides will find their lives intertwined despite the Navy’s ironclad sanctions. And for Frances Mackenzie, the complicated young woman whose past comes back to haunt her far from home, the journey will change her life in ways she never could have predicted—forever.Present Of Books The Ship of Brides

Great Historical FictionThis is the third book I've read by this author. She's my new favorite writer! I feel like I was on that journey with all those brides. What a journey it was. I felt relief when the ship docked and the brides joined their new families. Another book to tell me more about World War II that I didn't know.I love JoJo Moyes and her ability to make Chick-lit (which I love), just a bit different. Some of her books are based on historical events, again something that I find is a great asset to her writing.However, and it is a shame to say that, this book just didn't work for me. I found the storyline hard to get in to, possibly a little dull at times. I don't know much about the subject of Australian war brides and the book didn't really help. I found it hard to pick up on the love the brides had for
I don't think I would have picked this up by myself (the synopsis didn't sound all too exciting to me), but I got the book gifted to me by someone who knows how much I loved Me Before You. I definitely need to remember to give this person a massive 'Thank you!' now!I was majorly surprised by how interesting I found the entire journey. The plot is very linear, there are no big surprises or plot twists. However, I was still glued to the pages due to the wonderful and realistic characters. I fell
3.5 stars.This novel is set in the time period just after World War II. During the War many people from all over the world met one another and got married quite hastily, to people that they wouldn't see until the War was over. This novel starts off in Australia, where over 600 Australian brides need to be transported to their English husbands in England, to go and live as a married couple now that the War is over. An old aircraft carrying ship is commissioned for its last journey to take these
Maybe this leopard can change her spots. I'm the perennial thriller reader. I read thrillers because they are often fast passed, make my heart beat faster and I love a suspenseful read. So why have I found myself bewtiched by the author JoJo Moyes? I have just finished my third book The Ship of Brides and will be singing its praises to everyone I meet. Its the end of World War II and thousands of Australian women, War Brides, will be traveling to England to reunite with the men they married.
I have read at least five of JoJo Moyes other books, including the Me Before You trilogy, and I have liked them. They have either sustained my attention well enough or brought great enjoyment. I did not care for this one however. I just couldn't follow it, or relate. Neither could I develop care for the characters or the plot. Wasn't my cup of tea. Was more moved at the way it pulled together at the end.
Very long and drawn out. Lost interest throughout. Probably my least favorite of Jojo Moyes.
