Sisters Under the Rising Sun by Heather Morris

4.0

History never seems to amaze and horrify me. I’ve learned a lot about World War II but most of it is focused on what was going on in Europe. This book tells a story from another part of the world during the war. Sisters under the Rising Sun tells the story of a group of women from Australia, England, the Netherlands and beyond, who were captured by the Imperial Japanese Army in 1942 and held in brutal conditions in a camp in the Indonesian jungle. They are moved around to several camps where they are forced to endure terrible circumstances. It is a story that should be taught. One of resilience, sisterhood, and the power of unity.
