When We Were Young & Brave by Hazel Gaynor

3.0

3.5 - I enjoyed getting a look at a different perspective of WWII experience - from a group of teachers and students interned in a prisoner of war camp after Pearl Harbor by a Japanese army that controlled the territory. The treatment was harsh (there are some rape scenes). I did enjoy the girl guide focus and how the story included what happened to the teachers and students long afterwards. The history part of it interested me more than the story I think. The characters weren't that compelling for me aside from a couple of memorable ones that endured terrible things.
