"I really loved this story. My only regret was that I did not know about Molly Green's first book which starts off this story. The books can stand alone, however I recommend reading The Orphan in the Snow first by the same author first."

An Orphan&rsquos War Molly Green Books Reviews
- I really loved this story. My only regret was that I did not know about Molly Green's first book which starts off this story. The books can stand alone, however I recommend reading The Orphan in the Snow first by the same author first.
- An Orphan’s War One of the best historical fictions you will read in 2018 is by Molly Green. This takes place in Liverpool and London during World War II. It is interesting that the author tells some of the things that are factual in the story. First are the Barnardo Orphanages. Dr. Barnardo was an Irish Philanthropist who, since he was a bachelor, first took in only boys; but after his marriage, took in girls too. He set up homes across England and Ireland for children to be housed during the wars and afterwards as orphans. Not all children in these homes were orphans. Some of the stories came from a lady who was in the home with her brother as their father was in the military. Over 60,000 children went through these homes. Another place that was used as it was in the book was St. Thomas Hospital in London. Even the “white rabbits†are still in the basement. Probably the most interesting is the name Crofton. She met a man in London who was sub officer in the London fire department. He had been in London during the Blitz. She found out his first name was Crofton and liked it so used it as her main character’s name.
This is the story of a young war widow who was in training in London to become a nurse. She fell in love with a married surgeon (without knowing he was married) and became pregnant. She refused to abort the child but did give him up for adoption. She then became a nurse in one of the Barnardo orphanages in Liverpool. She has to live with the guilt of giving up her son. She sets out to help all the children at the orphanage especially a young half-German boy whose Father was a Nazi officer.
The twists in this story just keep coming. It is really a good book - The book was ok, it's hype as " one of the best historical fiction books you will read in 2018" - not so much. Very predictable story line, no surprises, and I guess I thought it would follow more orphan's than the love story it ended up being.
- This book was no more than 5% the story of the orphan in the title. The rest was poorly written, annoying soap opera. It seemed that most thoughts behind many of the brief story lines were taken from the works of other, better authors. Binchey to name one of them. Even at $1.99 it is not worth buying.
- More like a harlequin romance novels rather than historical fiction. Very little related to 'An Orphans War' but rather a woman who makes bad choices.
- This is a great WWII saga that covers the lives of those whom live and work at Dr. Barnado's Orphanage. The author has given us back stories of all the characters which has been such a great part of this book. I enjoyed the writing style and felt that this book could go straight to a movie or television series! I'd love to have a television series involving both books about the Orphanage. The author, Molly Green, has a writing style that I really enjoy. She builds her characters so that you will really understand who they are and how they interact with others at the Orphanage. I can't wait for the third book in the Dr. Barnado's Orphanage series to come out. I loved this series and will highly recommend it!
- I would class this book as being a women’s story, but it is nevertheless gripping and touching. Set in London and Liverpool during World War 2, Maxine Taylor leaves her family’s home and goes to a London hospital to be trained as a nurse. There is much drama what with German bombings, a relationship with a surgeon who turns out to be a true villain. After giving birth to and putting out for adoption the baby that man sired, she is employed at a home for orphans. Maxine is smart, capable and has a lot to do with an 8-year-old German boy. Peter who is withdrawn and difficult. There are many twists and turns in Maxine’s life and all is well by the end.
- I love reading historical fiction. An Orphan’s War allows you to see into the early days of WWII through some of the people most affected by the conflict. Those in the medical field had a particularly hard time, as did the children of many civilians and military who lost their lives. This story is written with a particular sensitivity to the perils the children face and those who go out of their way to give them a semblance of normalcy.
