The Ship of Brides A Novel Jojo Moyes Books

I always love these based on truth fictionalized stories. I found that I cared for all of the characters, even the snobby one. The courage these young brides showed while being transported from Australia to England aboard an aircraft carrier at the close of WW II were astonishing. The cultural differences interesting, and the interaction of the 650 or so brides with the enlisted men on board fascinating. Many men English fighters, while stationed in Australia during the great war met and married--sometimes within weeks--young Australian women and then were sent back home or to other assignments leaving the brides behind. The royal navy was assigned to bring all of these brides back to England to reunite them with their husbands. This story is about one such ship--an aircraft carrier. Most of the other ships were more like cruise lines and not so nitty gritty with the enlisted men. The central thread that unites all of the characters is a growing relationship between a quiet nurse and an honorable officer. How they hid their admiration and eventually love from each other as well as all of the other characters is the suspenseful thread throughout the book.

I loved it not for the brilliant writing, which it did not have, but for the historical interest and learning something totally new about which I had never heard. Of the main characters (wives) developed and followed throughout the journey not all have happy endings being reunited with their loved ones. Some are removed from the ship and returned to Australia for various reasons. It was a good read and I am happy to have read it. It was worth my time.

The Ship of Brides A Novel Jojo Moyes Books Reviews

Well researched with a good storyline and well constructed.
The characters were very believable and it is a story which needed to be told.
Whether the action was in Australia, on board, or flash backs to other places, all of them were believable.
This is not your average love story at all. It's better. Imagine the Australian newly-wed of WWII soldiers who want to follow their husbands home but must be herded together for economy's sake on a retrofitted war ship that moves very slowly. The stories of the new brides intertwine as friendships develop and the past is sometimes revealed with hard consequences.
I enjoyed this novel and the brides' stories so much that I read non-stop. I highly recommend for any one, of any age and any gender. It's that good.
It was interesting to read an early novel,by JoJo, who is now a fantastic writer and who really pulls you into the personalities of each of her characters. In this novel of hers, I thought she tried to squeeze in too many characters, and she rarely gave us enough info to really care about them all. Still, a very interesting premise for a book.
I was a bit disappointed in this book. I supposed it was because it was rather depressing. I can not imagine what these brides when through on their vogage from Australia to London on an aircraft carrier that was to be decomissioned. Many of the brides had only met their husbands for a short while. An enlightening book, but not a very happy one.
So, after reading some of the reviews I was hesitant to get this book - but it was a Daily Deal - and I loved all the other Jo Jo Moyes book so what the heck. I thought it was a wonderful book. Now, the beginning is a little misleading, but all is forgiven because that is what lends the book an air of anticipation to see what happens. And it does start off a bit slow - skips around the different characters - but give it time - believe me, it is worth it. I rarely find a book that keeps me so engaged. I also liked that the premise was so original. I didn't know this even was something that had happened in history so that part was also intriguing. If this is one her first books, I can see how her writing has developed but started out pretty darn good.
Civilian passage. This novel has it's source in the passage from Sydney, Australia to Plymouth, UK of close to 600 brides who are now going to meet their new husbands as many couples were newlyweds. The excitement dwells in the lives of four girls. who share a cabin. The ramifications of what they expect versus what actually occurs provides the excitement, but the individual personality of each girl and how they handle the disappointments or happiness in their lives is the real merit to this book. It is an exciting and brilliantly executed book and I recommend it highly.

This is my third Jo Jo Moyes book and I've enjoyed all of them very much. The story is about 600 Australian women who met and married British soldiers & sailors stationed in Australia during WW2, and are now being transported to England, after the war, to reunite with their husbands. The story focuses on the lives and interactions of 4 of the brides, how they met their men, what their lives were like in Australia,& their experiences on the 6 week trip to England on a converted British aircraft carrier with 1000 sailors aboard.

I enjoy reading books about the lives of women who live in different time periods, different countries, with different customs, mores & life styles. This book kept my interest from start to finish.
