About this listen

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.

On the sun-baked decks, old loves and past promises become distant memories, and tensions are stretched to the limit as brides and husbands change their minds. And for Frances Mackenzie, it soon becomes clear that the journey is more important than the destination....

Best Book I have ever listened to

I have been an Audible listener for 12 years. This book is beautifully written and the narrator [who is new to me] does the best narration I have listened to. She seamlessly moves between characters and each character sounds distinctly different. The book is a beautifully crafted work of fiction, based on historical fact. The characters are superbly drawn and manage to engage you in a way that books rarely do. The book deals with the struggles of the brides who are heading toward England from Australia to be with the men they have married during the final stages of World War 2. It depicts the struggles of the women and the British naval crew to co-exist on an old aircraft carrier on its final voyage. The Ship of Brides keep you engaged from page one onward. Highly recommend this beautifully crafted book.
