I really enjoyed the book, and struggle between 4 and 5 stars. Finally, I settle on 4, as while it became an engaging fast read, it didn’t grip me overly emotionally as some other recent reads. But again, appreciated the characters, the story - learning about a bit of history...
I enjoyed this book. I really think it deserves about 3 1/2 stars but went with 4 because the history of the orphan train was so interesting. Very quick to read and really enjoyable.
I read this for a book club and found it an engrossing book. Although the relationship between Molly and Vivian appeared a bit forced at times overall it worked for me. I especially enjoyed reading Vivian's story as I love historical fiction.
Another fabulous historical fiction read! And of course I love the fact that the author got her inspiration from a book about Jamestown ND, my home state! Lovely book that I couldn't put down!
