#AuldLangReads Day 29: Wars always have an #UnhappyEnding regardless. Fats‘ review: “Dedicated to her great-aunt Agnes, Nancy Amis presents the incredible story of the orphans from La Maison du Clos, a French home and school for girls whose parents could no longer take care of them or had died. The package contained an illustrated journal about a group of orphans from Normandy caught in the middle of WWII.” https://wp.me/pDlzr-871
