GetUrBook Review-The Secet orphange
War often tests not only armies but also ordinary people whose silent heroism changes lives forever. Barbara Josselsohn’s The Secret Orphanage is one such unforgettable story — weaving together the harrowing backdrop of Nazi-occupied France and the search for truth in present-day New York.
In 1944 France, Celina and Remy courageously run a hidden orphanage, sheltering Jewish children from unspeakable danger. Their days are marked by fear, but also by love, sacrifice, and impossible choices. A mysterious coded message about a missing baby threatens to expose everything they’ve risked their lives to protect.
Decades later, in modern New York, Rachel stumbles upon a name in an old children’s book — a clue that propels her on a journey into her grandfather’s past. What she uncovers about the orphanage is both heartbreaking and life-affirming, proving that even the darkest times can nurture light.
Josselsohn’s storytelling is seamless, blending historical detail with raw human emotion. The dual timeline format keeps the pages turning, while the characters’ inner struggles remind us of the resilience of hope and the power of hidden kindness.
Verdict:
This book deserves a place on your shelf. The Secret Orphanage isn’t just historical fiction — it’s a testament to love, sacrifice, and the strength of memory.
⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5
Recommended for fans of WWII fiction, family sagas, and emotional dual-timeline stories.
