Intro Text

Win our Book Club in a Box for The Passengers

This is a luminous novel about love between two different generations of women on a sea-faring voyage to Australia, offering plenty for discussion.

Travelling with her grandmother Sarah from California to Sydney, Hannah is regaled with the amazing story of her grandmother’s life as a war bride in 1946 when she left Australia to marry an American serviceman during World War II.

Through her grandmother’s story, Hannah is given a new perspective on how we define ourselves, love and what we choose to cling to the past.

Reviews

Reviews:

‘I loved this book. A stunning exploration of hope and desire, fear and control, this story is full of heart and heartbreak.’ – Ashley Hay, author of The Railwayman’s Wife

‘A compelling novel about the bruises inflicted by fate and by ourselves, and the blessings to be found in resilience, determination, and love.’ – Debra Adelaide, author of The Household Guide to Dying

‘Two women, two generations, two countries, two journeys. Eleanor Limprecht gracefully navigates the crosscurrents of history and creates vibrant characters from the extraordinary true experiences of Australian war brides.
