Other feminist historical novels that, like Orphan Train, focus on the themes of memory, secrets, and overcoming the past, are Jody Picoult’s The Storyteller (2013) and Sue Monk Kidd’s The Secret Life of Bees (2001). In terms of the subject matter of Orphan Train, it has been likened to The Little Immigrants (2000) by Kenneth Bagnell, a work of historical fiction that portrays the history of British orphans who were sent to work in Canada in the 1800s. Kline’s portrayal of Midwestern orphans at the beginning of the twentieth century has also been compared to Willa Cather’s O Pioneers! (1905) and Mail-Order Kid (2010) by Marilyn June Coffey. Like Orphan Train, both of these novels examine the lives and troubles of modern-day women in Maine by exploring their family’s histories. Life in the rural Midwest was deemed better for the children than life in a crowded Eastern city. Orphan Train is also similar to Kline’s other works, a Piece of the World (2017) and The Way Life Should Be (2007). The orphan trains were a humanitarian effort spanning 75 years they served to remove children from slums and get them off the streets by transporting them to good homes out West. Like Orphan Train, Doerr’s novel is a work of historical fiction, portrays the experiences of orphans, has a two-plot structure, and retraces the lives of modern-day characters by telling their stories from the beginning. Orphan Train has most frequently been compared to All the Light We Cannot See (2014 ) by Anthony Doerr, a novel that explores the pasts of a German orphan and a blind French girl in German-occupied France. ![]()
