An Orphan's War by Molly Green

Excellent! Love a story that keeps you so wanting to listen to the end. This was one of those stories. Thank-you.

Good story, ending left me wanting

The ending felt incomplete. It should have been extended until the war’s end so the listener could have known if Maxine did get married and what happened to Peter. Otherwise it was a good listen with tragedy and horror of WWII in England.

easy listening

nor exactly startling brilliant writing but very easy to listen to with endearing characters. very well narrated.

An Orphans War Review

This book was just what I needed to hear. The audible had a lovely accent and the storyline was impossible to put down. Took me a few days to read it and it’s now a favorite of mine. It’s a 10 hour read with 38 chapters. I enjoyed the main characters strong willed and kept her emotions to herself til she found trustworthy friends to support her in any way a helping hand could go. The book brought me insight what the fancy Hotels were like during the War in London and how entertainment was like in Berlin during the War. I felt like I was really there as a shadow with the narrator. I recommend the book for newly weds, widows, adoptive parents to mothers who donated a child in hopes for a better lifestyle then their own. This Book bring light into a dark world and hope as the end unwinds.
