Sisters under the Rising Sun, Heather Morris, Pan Macmillan, ISBN: 9781786582225
1942. Singapore is falling to the Japanese Army.
English musician Norah Chambers places her eight-year-old daughter Sally on a ship leaving Singapore, desperate to keep her safe.
As the island burns, Australian nurse Nesta James joins the terrified cargo of people, including the heartbroken Norah, crammed aboard the HMS Vyner Brooke.
After only two days at sea, the ship is bombarded and sunk.
Nesta and Norah reach the beaches of Indonesia only to be captured and held in one of the notorious Japanese POW camps, places of starvation and brutality.
But even here joy can be found, in music, where Norah’s ‘voice orchestra’ transports the internees from squalor into light.
The friendships they build with the dozens of other women in the camps will give them the hope, strength and camaraderie they need in order to stay alive.
Based on a true story, Sisters under the Rising Sun is a novel of women in war, of sisterhood, bravery and friendship in the darkest of circumstances, from the multimillion-copy bestselling author of The Tatooist of Auschwitz, Cika’s Journey and Three Sisters.
“I read it with my heart in my mouth. What a story. I finished it weeping.” – Elizabeth Buchan, bestselling author of Two Women of Rome
