Sisters Under the Rising Sun by Heather Morris
4.25

Reading about Singapore in WWII in this book was a first for me. I found it intriguing to see how the Japanese army treated prisoners. I also have never read about Australian women in the war. Nesta and Norah are two incredibly strong women. Whether it’s Sister Nesta leading her nurses and doing everything to help the injured and sick, or Norah, doing everything she can to take care of her family, they will do anything they can to survive.

Heather’s stories always suck me in, and this story definitely did. Even though her books involve war camps, which I usually steer away from, I can’t do that when she writes them.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for my ARC of this book.
