Ship of Brides
Ship of Brides | Jojo Moyes
From the"New York Times"bestselling author of"Me Before You," " After You," and"One Plus One," 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."

This was not what I expected at all… it sounded super interesting and written by Moyes, got to be a home run right?? Nope… I disliked 90% of this book, I did, however, love the ending!

Another great Moyes book! The plot is structured differently compared to other books written by Moyes. For me, I found the beginning slow-going, but I think it was due to the fact that I wasn‘t sure how the story was unfolding. Maybe I was just tired when I started the book? Regardless, a few chapters in and I was invested. I loved the well- developed characters that were revealed in layers.

I really liked this one. Jojo Moyes knows how to write such detail with great characters and a hint of a love story with a happy ending. Great read.

We are big believers in reusing in our family. Books come from charity shops, get passed around, then go back to charity shops. I sometimes read stuff I'm not too fussed about. Actually loved this book! Sad it's finished. Really fascinating story! Full marks JoJo!

I have been looking for Moyes to read recently. This one did a cool POV thing toward the end. Historical fiction about war brides returning to their spouses after wwii.

Although Jojo Moyes has a nice, conversational writing style, I find I just can‘t get into this book. While it‘s based on historical events that could be interesting, the book doesn‘t seem to get going in a way that holds my attention. Alas!

Crazeedi I have never gotten into this author, I tried one of her books, but it just didn't capture me 6y

Historical fiction set in 1946 after WWII has ended, when young women are crossing the seas in the thousands en route to the men they had married in wartime. Four women join 650 other brides on a voyage to England aboard the HMS Victoria. Apparently the book was loosely based on real people who made the trip on the real ship. A quick read.

Sometimes lighter fare is all I can handle, and I like Jojo Moyes. So I bought all these from Book Outlet (two hours before they sent an email announcing they‘d be awarding 3X points on purchases 😐 — can‘t really complain at their prices though). One of these I‘ll take with me to CA — we‘ll be with my mom for Thanksgiving.

DivineDiana That will be nice for your family! ❤️ 6y

Brudskeppet är bokens svenska titeln och det här var en okänd del om andra världskriget för mig, Har mest intresserat mig för flygplanen tidigare men nu får jag spana in hangarfartygen också😉
Kärlek, hemligheter, äventyr, överraskningar och vänskap i en härlig blandning.
En av mina favofavoriter från Moyes!

Not the best Jojo Moyes book I've read before but it had the word bride in it and I've been doing wedding planning today so I thought it was a good one to read in my bubble bath 🛁

THIS!!!!!🙌🏻👆🏻 I let my mom borrow this book like two years ago and she still hasn't got all the way through it!!😩😩

EvieBee Yes! This is so perfect. It basically equates to no. I've lost so many copies or asked my friends to just keep them when I've gotten them back all dogeared and stained. Sigh. 8y
Jhullie I hate lending out my book family, other people just don't treat them right. 😳 8y
451Degrees @EvieBee84 same here! I lent them to people and never see them again!😩 thankfully the ones I do get back are in good condition. Idk what I would do if I got mine back all dog eared... 8y

451Degrees @Jhullie I feel ya! I mostly just don't get them back ever... idk which would be worse. Getting it back all mangled or not at all😱 8y
Zelma I give away books I've read with no problem, but made the mistake of lending two unread books to a friend recently. Stupid me! He doesn't even remember the titles (I do) and can't find them. 😡 8y
451Degrees @Zelma not cool!😒 definite loss of friend points there. I keep a mental list of where all my books are and I always want to ask ppl how they are going to see if they're actually reading them 😝 8y
Zelma @451Degrees yes, serious loss of friend points. One was the first of a trilogy and I have books 2 and 3. 😱😬🙄 8y

What I liked: The historical fiction aspect--I had never heard of such a thing as these war brides, & was fascinated by the journey. Some great plot twists, as well.
What I disliked: The writing was cheesy and overdone, often. That was a huge turnoff. Wayyy overdone metaphor @ end.
Just ok.
⭐️⭐️.5

Light reading for a week in the hotel. Not enjoying the writing as much as Me Before You, but the storyline is engaging.
