Description
The Children Left Behind by Eliza Morton is a heartwarming and emotional saga set against the backdrop of the Festival of Britain and the aftermath of the Second World War. In 1940, Alice Lacey and her two best friends, Bob and Matty, witnessed a pivotal moment in their lives, one that would shape their futures and relationships. Ten years later, Alice is on the cusp of a new chapter, leaving her factory job to pursue a career in architecture, but the war's devastating impact on families and children threatens to upend her plans. As Alice navigates her ambitions and relationships, she is faced with the harsh realities of the war's aftermath. The orphanage, once a refuge for children like herself, now holds a dark secret that will test Alice's loyalty and trust. Meanwhile, Bob and Matty seem to be hiding secrets of their own, adding to the sense of uncertainty and tension. This is the second book in the Liverpool Orphans trilogy, a gripping and emotional saga that explores the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
