Book: The Only Blue Door by Joan Fallon
categories: Book, Family Saga, World War 2, The Blitz, Child Migrants, Literary Fiction, Historical FictionJoan Fallon

Shocked and incredulous by what I read I decided to write a novel about three young children who, through a series of tragic events ended up being shipped to orphanages in Australia. Maggie, Billy and Grace are uprooted from a loving family and thrown out into a strange harsh world. Once they arrive in Australia the children are separated but Maggie is determined to find her mother and reunite the family. The story is about what happens to them and how they make new lives for themselves.
Although the characters are all fictitious, the events and background have been well researched and I have tried to keep it within the mindset of the time. With hindsight we can see the errors that were made but many people at the time thought they were doing their best for the children.
