The Girl With No Name
The Girl With No Name | Diney Costeloe
8 posts | 11 read | 16 to read
A heart-wrenching story from the bestselling author of The Throwaway Children. Thirteen-year-old Lisa has escaped from Nazi Germany on the Kindertransport. She arrives in London unable to speak a word of English, her few belongings crammed into a small suitcase. Among them is one precious photograph of the family she has left behind. Lonely and homesick, Lisa is adopted by a childless couple. But when the Blitz blows her new home apart, she wakes up in hospital with no memory of who she is or where she came from. The authorities give her a new name and despatch her to a children's home. With the war raging around her, what will become of Lisa now?

To all those who were evacuated and to those who opened their homes and took them in.

Maybe I just wasn't in the right frame of mind, or the timing was bad. While significantly different than All the Light We Cannot See, I couldn't help comparing them. The writing seemed pedestrian, the plot predictable. It's on my Kindle, so maybe I'll try again sometime, but later rather than sooner.

#girlinthetitle This is next up on my Kindle TBR, and since I finished The Eyre Affair yesterday, I thought I'd start this today. But Deanna Raybourn's new release, which I had preordered, is sitting there on my opening screen and calling to me. Decisions, decisions 😊 #readJanuary

robinb A Perilous Undertaking? I'm currently reading A Curious Beginning. 😊 8y
saresmoore I can't stop looking at this picture because the girl looks like me as a child (sans freckles). It's actually kind of eerie! I'm thinking I should read this book! 8y
Lynnsoprano @saresmoore Amazing! You need to post a picture. 8y
Lynnsoprano @robinb It's the next book in the Veronica Speedwell series. I'm three chapters in and hooked again😄 8y

#readJanuary My #JanuaryTBR includes two books on my Kindle, the Eyre Project and Girl With No Name, as well as these. The Phryne Fisher is a collection of the first three of the series. My plan is to read the first, but @Lizpixie thinks I should binge on all three😄

Grrlbrarian Cocaine Blues is on my January TBR as well. Can't wait! 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag Mickey! What's Mickey with the moustache up to? He has an about to take over the world vibe 😍😂 8y
Lynnsoprano @thegirlwiththelibrarybag That's Pirate Mickey. When I was teaching, I would take my choirs to perform at WDW. The kids started giving me Mickeys and Minnies. I ended up with quite a collection 😊 8y

Godmotherx5 I love Elizabeth George. 8y
CrowCAH @Lynnsoprano I watch the Fisher mysteries on PBS; they're fun cute cozy mysteries! 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag Awesome! I have safari Mickey as an ornament (I buy random things on eBay when I can't sleep) I went to WDW for the first time in 2015 and just had the most amazing time! I'd wanted to go since I was quite small but Australia is a long way away... 8y
Lizpixie You definitely will binge read them all! Once you get started you won't be able to stop, trust me. And Elizabeth George too! I knew I liked you for a reason, I have her whole collection.😊 8y
Zelma All the Single Ladies was my first Dorothea Benton Frank book made me want to read more from her. It was so evocative of the landscape and area that want to jump back into that world! 8y
