Review of The Orphanage Girls Come Home by Mary Wood

Ad-PR Product.

I am really excited to be taking part in the Random Things blog tour for The Orphanage Girls Come Home by Mary Wood today.

In 1910, Amy is plucked from a London orphanage and chosen as part of a programme of resettling children in Canada.

She is sad to leave her friends, but excited to start a new adventure with promise of a great start. However, as Amy begins the long voyage a terrible secret is revealed that will change everything.

As the years go by, Amy’s life in Canada is nothing like she hoped and as the world descends into war she wonders if she will ever see her friend Ruth again.

It was great to be reunited with these characters. The author really brings this era to life.

I was so sad for Amy and hoped that somehow things would work out for her.

I have really enjoyed this series and I am looking forward to reading more books by Mary Wood.

Thank you to Random Things Tours for including me on the tour. Check out the banner below to follow the other stops on the tour:
