Book Review: The Secret Orphan
By: Glynis Peters
Love Love Love! Such a compelling book! Filled with spy secrets, love interests, WWII life in the country and how women survived during the war. Based in Europe before and during WWII.
Elenor has to decide to sink or swim in several major events in her life after being forced by her brothers to leave the family farm to care for an ill aunt in the city. She has to deal with secrets, hidden identities and navigating war time life to protect herself and the ones she loves. She navigates love. Not just romantically but also the forming of a family kind of love after being neglected and in some ways abused after the death of her mother. This well written book is full of emotion and life challenges during WWII Europe. The story line is intriguing to try to figure out the clues and unravel the web of lies and hidden identities.
The end of the books (like last 3-4 chapters) are rushed to tie everything into a "nice little bow" and wrap up the loose ends. Several places in the last few chapters don't feel as well developed and left me wanting more.
Over all good clean book. Great for book clubs or the WWII historical fiction fan.
