We can't just play in the sand all of the time..... what'cha reading?
I've read 2 books since I arrived 3 weeks ago, and now I just started reading The Ship of Brides by JoJo Moyes. I love it... based on a true story.... if anyone wants a really different "read" this summer, this is the one...
The Ship of Brides
The captivating new novel from RNA prize winner Jojo Moyes - based on a true story. The year is 1946, and all over the world young women are crossing the seas in their thousands en route to the men they married in wartime, and an unknown future. In Sydney, Australia, four women join 650 other brides on an extraordinary voyage to England - aboard HMS Victoria, which still carries not just arms and aircraft but a thousand naval officers and men. Rules of honour, duty, and separation are strictly enforced, from the aircraft carrier's Captain down to the lowliest young stoker. But the men and the brides will find their lives intertwined in ways the Navy could never have imagined. And Frances Mackenzie - the enigmatic young bride whose past comes back to haunt her thousands of miles from home - will find that sometimes the journey is more important than the destination.
