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. ( )

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 ( )
