Set in Australia in 1946, this moving novel, based on a true story, follows 650 brides traveling to England to meet their wartime spouses. Instead of arriving by ship, they find themselves aboard an aircraft carrier with a thousand men, where emotions run high and relationships are tested. Through the challenges of this unexpected journey, the story explores how sometimes the voyage itself holds the greatest significance.
