Reader review,⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DISCOVER AN EARLY CLASSIC FROM #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WE ALL LIVE HERE, JOJO MOYES! Til death do us part . . . 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 one thousand working men. On the sun-baked decks, old loves and past promises become distant memories, and tensions are stretched to the limit as temptation starts to take hold . . . And for one bride in particular it soon becomes clear that sometimes the journey is more important than the destination . . . Praise for Jojo Moyes 'Wise, funny and glorious. She never ever disappoints' Lisa Jewell 'Nobody writes women the way she does' Jodi Picoult 'Warm, witty and wonderful' Chris Whitaker
