THE SECRET ORPHANAGE

Celina, a passionate schoolteacher, finds herself in a challenging situation during the occupation of German-occupied France. Her classroom is filled with young Jewish children, their faces filled with hope despite the uncertain future they face. Determined to protect them, Celina and her partner, Remy, devise a plan to hide the children upstairs.

As Celina carefully shelters the children, she stumbles upon a secret note written in code by the resistance. The note reveals that one of the babies she is caring for could be reunited with its mother. However, attempting to reunite the baby with its mother poses a grave risk. It could expose the orphanage, leading to Celina’s capture and potential death.

Barbara Josselsohn’s “The Secret Orphanage” is an extraordinary time-slip novel that skillfully weaves together the past and present. This heart-wrenching and tragic historical fiction is a poignant tale of family, friendship, and hope. I was utterly captivated by the story, turning the pages eagerly from beginning to end.

The story is fast-paced and emotionally charged, drawing me in with its unexpected plot twists. The characters are vividly portrayed, their hope and resilience radiating through the pages. I highly recommend this remarkable book to anyone seeking a captivating and thought-provoking reading experience.
