In this bestseller, thirty-six Canadian war brides recount their early lives, their involvement in wartime duties, the magical/funny moments when they met their Canadian husbands-to-be and their journeys from Britain to Canada. The stories convey courage and humour: qualities that carried the war brides through the difficult war years and that contribute to lively reading today. Over 50 photos.
“Shropshire to Whitehorse, London to Duncan, bombs to babies…what flexible and resourceful women!” P.K. Page
