'A moving, gripping story set during WW2, of a woman's dedication to the orphans in her care and her heart wrenching love. Kitty Neale

Redolent of wartime Britain and brimming with heartfelt stories from several characters, Molly Green's sure-footed novel shows just how challenging it was to find love and a place to call home in the dark days of the war. Terri Fleming

A lovely, heartfelt, warming slice of saga fiction There is a gentleness to the writing as it walks some difficult paths, ensuring AN ORPHANS WAR is an engaging, generous read. Liz Robinson, LoveReading

A gripping read My Weekly

Memorable characters, a well written, plausible plot and very good descriptions of the time and place. The scenes and details of Dr Barnardos are especially interesting as the plight of orphans is rarely considered when we think of World War Two We often forget the ordinary people surviving day-to-day back home.
