The charaters were all believable although some things that the brother's mum, Marian did were a bit far fetched so it slightly spoilt it for me.

Three Brides For Three Brothers has 14 ratings and 5 reviews. Sarah said: Oh dear, where shall I start? My first proper saga in a very long time and my f. John, Rick and Derrick Underwood are the most handsome trio of brothers in town and it takes three exceptional women to convince them to settle down.
Secondly, the fact that Dee was so quick to forfeit her blossoming career for marriage was disappointing — she happily and readily lost her own identity to simply become a wife and mother. Lots of adventures happen to these characters and I think Waite should have focused on this, rather than rooting the plot to UK soil.
With so many of the characters travelling, extra depth would have been created through following John in Hong Kong or switching the narrative to Laraine in Dubai. This was seriously missing and as a reader you were only provided with little snippets from letter extracts. I would happily give another of her books a go but this is not a great read.
Easy to get through, I felt there were still a couple of hundred pages of plot missing. Jul 14, Bigbear Woolliscroft rated it it was ok Shelves: One of the those family sagas where the female lead will master all problems thanks to the enviable support of her friends and family. A real feel good about yourself book set on the English south coast.
It claims to track the history of a family through the changing world of Postwar Britain, but it is hard to pin things down, as the historical detail is left very vague. You get a reference to TV starting so we start somewhere in the fifties and will end in the late 70s Sep 01, Bronwyn Rykiert rated it it was amazing Shelves: I really enjoyed this story about the 3 Underwood boys and their families.
I guess the story was mostly about Jodie and Dee Underwood. Excellent book I loved this book from start to finish.
Couldn't put it down. A real homely and easy to read book.. The characters were very real and the storyline couldn't have been better. Mar 11, Ceri rated it liked it Shelves: Three brothers, John, Derrick and Richard. Dee gets to know Jodie through their job in a haridressing salon where Dee is a Saturday girl.
While Dee is babysitting one night so Jodie can go out with husband John, his brother Derrick calls in and before long Dee is smitten. After From the s all the way through to the s, Three Brides For Three Brothers is a nostalgic story of love and loyalty during the most testing of times. After getting to know each other a little bit, Derrick goes back to sea and Dee doesn't hear from him for over a year!
All the brothers are seafarers. In the meantime, Laraine has met and married the other brother Richard after a whirlwind romance.
What follows is a story that focus's on the girls relationships with each other and the ups and downs they have with being married to the brothers. John is a bit of a cad and only cares about himself but all Jodie cares is their children and earning enough money to give their sons a nice upbringing. This wasn't a bad book, it delved quite deeply into how the characters coped with certain situations.
The pace of the book ambled along quite nicely until three quarters of the way through when there was a few twists followed by some conclusions. After such a slow start to the book I felt the ending was a bit rushed and the twists could have been brought forward to liven the book up a bit. The charaters were all believable although some things that the brother's mum, Marian did were a bit far fetched so it slightly spoilt it for me.
I wasn't too fussy on the title of the book either, when people found out what I was reading I had a few quips as in "Oh, seven brides for seven brothers is it".
