Web ID: 15058231their youth was not an obstacle
Historical fiction set during WWII. During the repeated bombing of the cities, the Red Cross recruited aides from orphanges. These young women would set aside personal lives and plans to aid in the rescue and care of thos wounded during the bombing campaigns. Without them, many more people would have died. Glynis Peters has given readers a look into the lives of 3 of these Red Cross aides and their often heartbreaking duties. As young as they were, they still gave of themselves. The book does have a touch of romance but is mainly the story of these brave people in caring for others.

a good read
Perfect for fans of WWII fiction. Kitty, Jo, and Trixie, who come from very different circumstances, are all training to be Red Cross nurses- and they make a wonderful trio. Kitty falls for Michael, a Canadian doctor who is also an orphan (keep in mind, btw, that these are adults but no matter). They are sent to different places but keep their love going. In some ways this is a famiiar tale but it's also one which will pull you in with humor and heart. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. Here's hoping the next book in the series will follow Jo or Trixie,

Didn't want the book to end
Red Cross Orphans is a book you will not want to rush through. It’s a story of two people who were orphaned at a young age and met while working for the war effort in the UK. The story is a journey following Kitty as her career as a Red Cross Nurse. She is a caring, confident, and compassionate woman. She takes what is thrown at her in stride, including multiple relocations away from her friends and the man she is falling in love with. I’m sure the war was full of people like her and that is why we won. I enjoyed reading this book and did not want it to end.

Historical Fiction World War II Romance Thriller
The Red Cross Orphans by Glynis Peters is Historical Fiction set in World War II. Glynis Peters tells a story of the Blitz in England, War Orphans, Red Cross nursing and romance. I enjoyed reading about the nurse’s training and about their work. The way nurse’s moved frequently and their assignment changes reminded me of today’s traveling nurses. I liked the characters but felt some characters and situations were not always believable. The Red Cross Orphans is an exciting story and very difficult to put down. I look forward to the next book and new adventures. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. I appreciate the opportunity and thank the author and publisher for allowing me to read, enjoy and review this book. 4 Stars
