Beskrivelse
A gripping tale of survival and resilience set during the fall of Singapore in 1942. Sisters under the Rising Sun follows the journey of Norah Chambers, an English musician, and nurse Nesta James as they endure the horrors of war and imprisonment.
A powerful story of sisterhood, courage, and hope amidst the brutality of war.
As the Japanese Army takes over Singapore, Norah Chambers desperately sends her young daughter Sally to safety on a ship leaving the island. Meanwhile, Australian nurse Nesta James boards the HMS Vyner Brooke, carrying frightened refugees including Norah herself. Just two days into their voyage, the ship is attacked and sunk.
Both women make it to the shores of Indonesia, only to be captured and imprisoned in a harsh Japanese POW camp known for its cruelty and starvation. Despite the grim conditions, Norah’s creation of a ‘voice orchestra’ brings moments of joy and light to the internees, lifting their spirits through music.
Within the camp, the bonds formed between Norah, Nesta, and the other women become a vital source of strength and hope. Sisters under the Rising Sun is a moving novel about women’s bravery and friendship in the darkest of times, from Heather Morris, the bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Cilka's Journey, and Three Sisters.
