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.

 I liked the historical records used in writing this book. However, the really slow start, confusing characters, and multiple stories told in the first third of the book were difficult for me. But, the book really picked up in the last half. I liked the conclusion as well. The fairly straightforward wrap up definitely helped create a satisfying ending.
