Bestselling authors of The Sugar Girls, Duncan Barrett and Nuala Calvi, have returned with a compelling tale of the GI brides of World War II, the British women who became smitten with American GIs and traveled to the U.S. to become their wives. The personal stories of Sylvia, Margaret, Gwendolyn and Rae illuminate the journey of war brides who found themselves in a foreign culture thousands of miles away from family and friends, with men they hardly knew.

Duncan Barrett works as a writer and editor, specializing in biography and memoir. Nuala Calvi is a writer and journalist trained at London College of Printing.
