Praise for Molly Green's sweeping historical sagas: 'Molly Green creates realistic characters and situations that keep you turning the pages' Katie Fforde, Sunday Times bestseller 'A moving, gripping story set during WW2' Kitty Neale, Sunday Times bestseller 'Redolent of wartime Britain and brimming with heartfelt stories, 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 PRAISE FOR MOLLY GREEN 'Molly Green creates realistic characters and situations that keep you turning the pages.' Katie Fforde '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 ORPHAN'S WAR is an engaging, generous read.' Liz Robinson, LoveReading 'A gripping read' My Weekly 'Meticulously researched and brings into focus the sterling work of the women of the ATA … An engrossing story, with a strong, likeable female protagonist facing issues we still face today.' Historical Novel Society Magazine 'Memorable characters, a well written, plausible plot and very good descriptions of the time and place. The scenes and details of Dr Barnardo's 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'.'
