The 2007 novel Silver Bay by Jojo Moyes, the bestselling author of Me Before You and two-time winner of the RNA Novel of the Year award.

Liza McCullen will never escape her past. But the unspoilt beaches and tight-knit community of Silver Bay offer the freedom and safety she craves - if not for herself, then for her young daughter, Hannah.

Until Mike Dormer arrives as a guest in her aunt's hotel, and the peace of Silver Bay is shattered. The mild-mannered Englishman with his too-smart clothes and disturbing eyes could destroy everything Liza has worked so hard to protect: not only the family business and the bay that harbours her beloved whales, but also her conviction that she will never love - never deserve to love - again.

Review

'Moyes is a romantic, and there is a gloriously happy ending, but the story is also surprising and genuinely moving.' (The Times)

'Romance doesn't get much more topsy-turvy than this whale of a tale ...' (Daily Mirror)

Engaging and poignant...Moyes writes both dialogue and descriptive passages with charm. (Glasgow Herald on The Ship of Brides)

'This irresistible novel is told through the eyes of four women with their own hopes, fears and secrets.' (Daily Express on The Ship of Brides)

Gloriously entertaining (Mirror on The Ship of Brides)

'Wonderfully romantic and moving.' (Daily Mail on The Ship of Brides)

Fascinating read . . . not only is THE SHIP OF BRIDES utterly compelling, it's educational. In a good way. (Heat) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Great read.

I have been enthralled by Jojo Moyes books since I first picked one up. Silver Bar certainly didn’t disappoint, it was a beautiful story written in a lyrical style. The storyline, as before, made it a page-turner. If you love the sea and getting away from the rat race you will enjoy this book. Thoroughly recommend.

Disappointed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 May 2020

I have read several of Jojo Moyes' books and really enjoyed, but this one disappointed. It took me a while to get into the book, in fact I almost abandoned it. There were so many points of view that I was often lost. In addition the plot was stretched beyond belief many times and Liza was a non character and I couldn't see why two men would be fighting over her.
Some of the themes explored in the book were good ideas, but not treated particularly well.
I felt that the last chapter was unnecessary and after rereading the last page several times it still confused me.

Slow start but worth continuing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 May 2020

I found this a slow starter. I am a massive Jojo Notes fan and never struggle with her books yet this one was difficult to get into.

It wasn't until about 3 chapters in that I found myself hooked and looking forward to finding out what happens next.

I found myself loving Mike and his aura radiating from the pages. What I thought he would do he did the opposite and I loved it! Found myself wishing i knew a real life Kathleen and Nino!!

Definitely worth reading as although a slow starter it ended with a bang!! 4 starts just because it was hard to get into.

An unusual and compelling tale

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 March 2022

Verified Purchase

This wasn't my usual choice of story and was chosen by my developmental editing support group, but I recognise it's important for readers, writers and editors to read beyond a chosen genre.

This is a well told and researched story of love, loss and the courage to selflessly do the right thing, no matter what the cost. The story is told from the perspective of all the interlinked characters in this small bay and the money men with dollars in their eyes and a lack of conscience in their hearts.

The pace is faultless, as is the character development and draws the reader into the story with bated breath and fingers crossed.

This story will appeal to readers of You Before Me and fans of Cecelia Ahern.

It took me 4 years to read this book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 August 2016

Verified Purchase

Yes, that's right, 4 years. I downloaded it onto my kindle 4 years ago, and got as far as 8%, I just could not get into it. When sorting out my cloud library thought I would give it another go, so glad I did. It's a love story, an education of sea creatures, all set in a little bay in Australia, the big corporation wants to build a huge hotel complex ruining the little bays livelihood and small hotel, great characters, lovely lovely story. Well done again ms moyes

A good relaxing read with a decent plot

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 February 2017

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed reading this book. It's set in the sleepy town of Silver bay between Brisbane and Sydney on the east coast of Australia. The basic story is a little clichéd - big powerful developer wants to build a massive tourist complex in a quiet location which resist change. In addition to all this there is a lot of narrative about whales and dolphins as many characters in the story rely on boat trips to view whales and dolphins for their livelihood. And most are keen to preserve a safe and healthy environment for these creatures which the new complex and water sports centre is going to threaten.

It’s a good and enjoyable read with plenty of interesting characters involved.

A highly readable novel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 July 2013

Verified Purchase

Business-man Mike flies out from England to Australia to research the possibility of building a a hotel complex in the eponymous Silver Bay. There, he meets three generations of a delightful family who have run a ramshackle hotel in the bay for many years, and who also spend much of their time taking tourists out in thieir boat to look for whales and dolphins. Smitten by the peaceful bay and the people who live there, Mike is placed in a dilemma: does he go ahead with his plans, and risk ruining the livelihoods and the lives of people who have by now become close friends? Or does he succumb to pressure from the residents (not to mention his new love) and back down? His problem is compounded by the fact that he is supposed to be gettig married to the daughter of his boss, who will be seriously displeased if the plans fail to go ahead.

This novel is beautifuly written, and meticulously reaearched. There is a strong love story, and some really delightful characters, and the tension builds up nicely as the plot develops. My one reservation concerns the ending. The final twist in the plot stretched (my) credibility, which rather spoilt the story for me, and I think the last part of the novel went on a bit too long. It could possibly have done with shortening and tightening up a bit. However, I did enjoy this book very much, although perhaps not quite as much as I have some of the author's other novels, and I do recommend it.

Silver lining

Loved the back drop of the beautiful sleepy bay. Jojo's narrative is unobtrusive, so it seems effortless to get to know the people and the place and feel part of it. I know it's fiction but the plot premise didn't come close to possible, though it was predictable which is always satisfying! So best just suspend reality and enjoy this lovely book.
