I always forget I enjoy historical fiction until I pick up something like this. Cried a lot, but not sure how much to attribute to the book and how much is from the connection with my own family's similar past.

I had never heard of the war brides until I read this book. The bravery of these women is almost uncomprehendable.
This book follows the story of a ship of war brides and potentially the most loveable, complex and brave characters I have read about in a long time.
