From the New York Times bestselling author of Me Before You and One Plus One, in an earlier
work available in the U.S. for the first time, a post-WWII story of the war brides who
crossed the seas by the thousands to face their unknown futures
1946. World War II has ended and all over the world, young women are beginning to fulfill the
promises made to the men they wed in wartime.
In Sydney, Australia, four women join 650 other war brides on an extraordinary voyage to
England—aboard HMS Victoria, which still carries not just arms and aircraft but a thousand
naval officers. Rules are strictly enforced, from the aircraft carrier’s captain down to the
lowliest young deckhand. But the men and the brides will find their lives intertwined despite
the Navy’s ironclad sanctions. And for Frances Mackenzie, the complicated young woman whose
past comes back to haunt her far from home, the journey will change her life in ways she
never could have predicted—forever.
