World War, 1939-1945

The Secret Orphan by Glynis Peters was truly fascinating and I want to read more of her books. Well-researched and has great characters. It was great to learn more about the British women volunteers to go to work the farms. It is a great sweet romance and encounters with German Prisoners of War. This book helped me endure the strenuous labor of moving. It is a good pick for everyone who loves World War II historical fiction. (

World War 2 England

I loved this book because it is historically accurate and very well written. The tItle bothered me at first but as the story progressed the author impressed me with intrigue as well as how the home front looked in England after the blitz. I’m looking for more from the author now. (

On that evening, 515 German bombers carried out a coordinated attack, code-named Operation Mondscheinsonate (Moonlight Sonata). After the bombing, Coventry lay in ruins.

It is during this attack that the novel, The Secret Orphan, by Glynis Peters, begins. Bombs are falling, and the world of six-year-old Rose Sherbourne comes crashing down. ...more (
