The phenomenal new novel, based on a true story, from the multimillion-copy bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Cilka's Journey and Three Sisters.

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.

Sisters under the Rising Sun tells the story of women in war: a novel of sisterhood, bravery and resilience in the darkest of circumstances.

Don't miss out on THE WISH - the new Heather Morris novel of unexpected friendship, love and legacy. Out now in hardback, ebook and audiobook.

A great read - at first I didn’t grasp it was based on real events - thinking how far-fetched some of the situations were. Once I realised these were true accounts, my heart broke.
As Heather says, how can you remember someone if they are not known? This story should be studied in schools. Let todays children realise what true courage, integrity and troubles really are.
Thank you for telling this harrowing and uplifting story,
The narration was excellent too.
