At the end of World War II, more than 100,000 British women had married American soldiers and they were desperate to be with their husbands in America.  The first ship set sail on January 26, 1946, arriving in New York Harbor to sounds of 'Here Comes the Bride'.  The war brides were prepared to move halfway across the world, leaving their families behind forever.The story begins as four of these war brides are leaving their home in England, to be transported to their new homeland in America, all headed to New York.  America sounded so exotic, so unknown, so decadent.The story had an interesting premise and evoked some emotions along the way.  But, the characters just didn't capture me, never grabbing my attention.  I also found the storyline to be rather predictable.  In my opinion, the last chapter was not really needed.  And - I must add - where was the editing?  Too many typos and grammatical errors.  A nice easy read that I rated 3 stars.
