What is The Lost Children : An absolutely heartbreaking and gripping World War 2 historical novel about?

As they walked towards the railway station, their mother took an envelope from her handbag. ‘I want you to keep this somewhere safe.’ ‘What’s in the letter?’ ‘Listen carefully. You’re never to open it unless you or your sister are in real trouble. Promise me.’ England, 1943: Home is no longer safe for eight-year-old twins Molly and Jacob. Night after night wailing bombs and screeching planes skim the rooftops overhead. They cradle each other, shivering in terror, not knowing if they will live to see dawn. Their mother, Martha, has no choice but to evacuate them to the safety of the countryside. At the train station, Martha bites back tears as she says goodbye to her precious children. Knowing she might never see them again, she gives Jacob a letter, pressing the envelope into his hands and telling him to only read it if they are in danger. In the country, Molly and Jacob must adjust to life with strangers. Every night they dream of returning home to the arms of their beloved mother. But then the unimaginable happens. Martha is killed in an explosion, leaving the twins all alone in the world. The war has robbed Molly and Jacob of everything – all they have left is one another. Mothe
