Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Giver of Stars and the forthcoming Someone Else's Shoes, 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.

📚 Why We Recommend It

A sweeping, fact-touched voyage: in 1946, hundreds of Australian war brides sail to England aboard the aircraft carrier HMS Victoria—a setup ripe with romance, risk, and reinvention.
Four unforgettable women (including the enigmatic nurse Frances Mackenzie) anchor the story with friendship, courage, and second chances.
“Locked-room at sea” tension: 650 brides and 1,000 naval officers under strict rules—sparks fly and secrets surface.
If you love Jojo Moyes’s emotionally rich historical fiction, this earlier novel—praised by major outlets in the UK—delivers heart and heft in equal measure.
