As war moves ever closer, the sleepy English village of Crowmarsh Priors settles into a new sort of normal: Evacuees from London are billeted in local homes. The nightly German air raids become grimly mundane. Rationing curtails every comfort. Men leave to fight and die. And five women forge a bond of friendship that will change their lives forever in this engrossing novel of loyalty, loss, and love in the shadow of World War II.

With the hardships of war intensifying every day, the women band together to defeat formidable enemies and find remarkable strength within themselves to help one another. It is a war-forged loyalty certain to endure years and distance. When four of the women return for a celebration 50 years later, their mission is not simply to commemorate or remember. They’ve returned to confront a traitor whose actions cost countless lives — and to avenge one of their own at last.

The story of 5 women who came of age during that time and how their lives crossed in a small English Village.

The five characters were from all over Austria, New Orleans, and England. All five were women with spunk and forbearance to survive.

Where does War Brides rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best audiobooks. I was reading on my kindle. Saw the audio for 1.99 so I started at the beginning listening. It brought it all to life. It's a long book and I had forgotten some of what I had read. Hearing it brought it all back to me.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked the Jewish girl but I don't remember her name.

What does Tavia Gilbert bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Who is Tavia Gilbert?

Absolutely Loved It

Loved the twists and turns......and, even, the fact that it wasn’t an alls well, that ends well. The characters were real and had many flaws which made them more endearing. One of Tavia’s best performances. Would have loved to have been friends with each of them...

My childhood was during WWII, it brought back memories of those times although I lived safe in Idaho USA. The story kept you totally in volume with the five ladies from varied backgrounds put together in one house during this horrible time of war. Each lady brought what was happening to their varied families to get a view of the effect of war in England. It was so good.look forward to listening to it again later.

WWII in England comes alive.

Wonderful story, characters and narration. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy this book, I feel like I learned so much about how devastating the war was to the people in Europe. This is not a genre I normally read, but certainly glad I did. I highly recommend the audible version.
