Of Love & War
The Orphan’s Mission by Glynis Peters is a compelling historical novel that consumed me from the start.
The action begins in London before moving briefly to the south coast and then over to mainline Europe during World War II. We follow a teenage orphan whose father was French, and mother was British. Now she has nowhere to call home. She answers the personal call to fight the Nazis from inside France.
We witness the bravery required to sail to Holland, walk several miles to a rendez vous point, and then be parachuted into France.
A small cell of resistance fighters occupies a French farm. They live in plain sight as a family unit – until they realise someone has betrayed them.
We see the wits, bravery and cunning needed to survive the most dangerous of times.
All the characters were well drawn and believable. Glynis Peters has created an entertaining tale that has the reader on the edge of their seat.
A tale of war, of resistance, of double agents, of bravery, of family – but most of all, of love. I thoroughly enjoyed The Orphan’s Mission. It was an engaging read.
I received a free copy for a blog tour with Rachel’s Random Resources. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.

The Orphan’s Mission
One girl’s courage. One deadly secret. One mission that changes everything 🪖💥
At sixteen, newly orphaned Lucy LeVine feels lost in war-torn Britain. Living under her stern grandmother’s roof, she longs for escape—and a chance to strike back at the enemy who killed her parents in France. So when a mysterious man offers to smuggle her into occupied territory in exchange for her help, Lucy grasps the dangerous opportunity.
Once behind enemy lines, Lucy is placed with French-Canadian resistance fighter Guy Napolin and his determined band of operatives. But nothing in occupied France is simple. Trust is fragile, betrayal is rife, and whispers about her parents’ past follow her at every turn.
As Lucy steps deeper into the shadows of resistance work, she must uncover who she truly is—and the secrets her parents died to protect. And soon she and Guy realise her mission is far more perilous, and far more personal, than either imagined.
A gripping and emotionally uplifting story from bestselling author Glynis Peters. Perfect for fans of Jenna Ness, Ellie Curzon and AnneMarie Brear
