The phenomenal new novel of resilience and survival from the
international bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz In
the midst of WWII, an English musician, Norah Chambers, places her
eight-year-old daughter Sally on a ship leaving Singapore,
desperate to keep her safe as the island falls to the Japanese
Army. Australian nurse Nesta James has enlisted to tend to Allied
troops. But as Japanese troops overrun the island she joins the
terrified cargo of people, including the heartbroken Norah, crammed
aboard the Vyner Brooke merchant ship. Only two days later, they
are bombarded from the air off the coast of Indonesia, and in a
matter of hours, the Vyner Brooke has sunk. After surviving 24
hours in the sea, Nesta and Norah reach the beaches of a remote
island, only to be captured and held in one of the notorious
Japanese POW camps. The camps are places of starvation and
brutality, where disease runs rampant. But even here joy can be
found, in music, where Norah's 'voice orchestra' has the power to
transport the internees out of the squalor and into the light.
Sisters in arms, Norah and Nesta devote themselves to the women's
survival while discovering their own extraordinary reserves of
courage, love and strength. Sisters under the Rising Sun is a story
of women in war: a novel of sisterhood, bravery and friendship in
the darkest of circumstances, from the multimillion-copy
bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Cilka's Journey
and Three Sisters.
