You could argue that some of those attitudes linger. I thought Orphan Train did a wonderful job of conveying those callous attitudes without ever departing from the story....bibliophiliachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495943887513443615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-82265635887610499702013-06-29T07:06:00.892-07:002013-06-29T07:06:00.892-07:00I'd never heard of OUR orphan trains until I r...I'd never heard of OUR orphan trains until I read a different review a few days ago about this book (The things they DON'T teach you in school).

I'm looking forward to learning more about the history of that era in this book.<br /><br />Thanks for being on the tour!Heather J @ TLC Book Tourshttp://tlcbooktours.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-6160918581439679112013-06-27T08:53:25.124-07:002013-06-27T08:53:25.124-07:00@Jennifer-If I can learn something about a new top...@Jennifer-If I can learn something about a new topic while I am enjoying a fictional narrative, that is my perfect read!

I thought Kline did a really good job of weaving the historical and the contemporary stories together. I would like to read more about orphan trains, though. Maybe some non-fiction, because the topic is fascinating.bibliophiliachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495943887513443615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-24954077459063298962013-06-27T08:26:13.544-07:002013-06-27T08:26:13.544-07:00I originally had an Orphan Train review scheduled ...I originally had an Orphan Train review scheduled for today, but it got bumped in favor of Neil Gaiman. lol Anywho, I loved this book, even though I was far more partial to the historical tale than the contemporary one. The contemporary was necessary to bring the book to a satisfying close, but I just wanted to stay in the past. ;) Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220718933942181809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-17001792595046248502013-06-27T06:44:19.306-07:002013-06-27T06:44:19.306-07:00I really enjoyed this book.
