Lee and Victoria weren’t the only ones to love “Sisters Under The Rising Sun” by Heather Morris… Here is what the QBD crew thought:
Highly acclaimed and bestselling author, Heather Morris has released another inspiring and heart-aching novel, “Sisters Under The Rising Sun”.
Amidst the chaos of World War II, Norah Chambers and Nesta James both flee to Singapore, in hopes of avoiding the invading Japanese forces. However, when the Japanese Army invade the former British colony, the two women are crammed onto a merchant ship. Only two days later, the ship is attacked from the air and sinks. Nesta and Norah survive, and reach the beach of a remote island, where they are then captured and held captive in Japanese POW camps.
Norah and Nesta join forces, and fight side by side to cling to their humanity by caring for the other women in the camp. They use their remarkable resources of courage, hope, determination, and humour to survive with the community of other imprisoned women.
“Sisters Under The Rising Sun” is a historically significant novel that explores the untold trauma and stories of the women in the Japanese POW camps. Sisterhood, camaraderie, friendship, and the pure strength of women are woven expertly into the story. This fantastic book carries the same emotive and poignant themes that Morris’ readers loved in her other novels, we couldn’t recommend enough.
