Portobello Book Blog

I’m delighted to be taking part in the promotional blogtour for The Orphan Thief by Glynis Peters, to celebrate paperback publication. In this post, you’ll find out more about the book and the author and information about where to buy it. Thanks to Anne Cater at Random Things Tours for the invitation to take part in the tour.

First of all, what’s the book about?

When all seems lost…

As Hitler’s bombs rain down on a battered and beleaguered Britain, Ruby Shadwell is dealt the most devastating blow – her entire family lost during the Coventry Blitz. 

Hope still survives…

Alone and with the city in chaos, Ruby is determined to survive this war and rebuild her life.  And a chance encounter with street urchin Tommy gives Ruby just the chance she needs… 

And love will overcome.

Because Tommy brings with him Canadian Sergeant Jean-Paul Clayton.  Jean-Paul is drawn to Ruby and wants to help her, but Ruby cannot bear another loss. 

Can love bloom amidst the ruins?  Or will the war take Ruby’s last chance at happiness too?
