Summary
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.

Interesting story with an unusual setting
This story was clearly inspired by true events and it made for thought provoking reading. The tale was a little obvious in places but nevertheless held my attention and was well read.

Oz to Blighty
Fantastic narrator brought all the characters to life. A brave journey into the unknown for the Australian brides of British servicemen.

An enthralling story beautifully portrayed
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.

Inspiring
A truly beautiful, sad, courageous and inspiring story of brave brave women combined with the sometimes barbaric world of postwar. Another Jojo triumph
