Saccharine romance - By: F. Newington, 26 Dec 2007 
If you like contrived sentimental love stories you will be happy with this book. The ending is liberally furnished with loose ends so you will then be able to buy the nextin the series.
Unbelievable - By: Jenna, 10 Feb 2007 
Having read several Josephine Cox novelsin the past & enjoyed most if not all of them I was looking forward to settling down with "The Journey."
The style of writing is good as always, hence the 2 stars, butI found the plot totally unreal & unbelievable. This is a very talented author but this story I found irritatingly disappointing.
Believable?? - By: R McG, 12 Jul 2006 
This was the first Josephine Cox book I have read.
I read through it VERY quicky. I liked her style of writing, the characters were lovable, I found the book very intriguing from the very first page, but I do have to admit I found the plot somewhat far fetched.
Why would Barney not go to America, set his family up for a better future, & die happy knowing their lives had improved & they would survive when he left them.
I thought there would be some deeper, dark secret.
Having said all that, I will be now moving straight onto the follow-up 'Journeys End' to find out what happened to the other characters :-)
Spellbinding read - By: , 04 Jan 2006 
Having read an excerpt from this novel as a short storyin Woman’s Weekly last year & been looking forward to the paperback coming out ever since. I was not disappointed as spell binding read from start to finish. The way the book spans the decades to bring this realistic story alive is brilliant. I didn’t want to put this book down, really looking forward to the Sequel.
Fantastic book - By: Carole Halpin, 18 Nov 2005 I have just read The Journey by Josephine Cox. I never wanted this book to end, I was gripped by it & I can't wait for the next book called Journey's End to come outin February.
