The Ship of Brides: A Novel by Jojo Moyes

3.0

The story is told as a flashback. It starts in India where they find a boat that was the boat that carried brides after world war ii. The boat started in Australia and carried women with married English servicemen. On the boat are several women. They are all lovely girls with the exception of one. Then you find out that Francis who was a nurse in the war was actually a prostitute for a little while. Being the 50s reaction to this is quite negative. But they allow her to say I'm bored and she is the narrator of the story. She marries a man she met on board and lives happy life.
