Sisters Under the Rising Sun by Heather Morris
4.0
3.5 stars, rounded up to 4*.
Having read and loved The Tattoist of Auschwitz, Cilka's Journey and Three Sisters, I knew that I was getting into emotional territory when I decided on this title.
Another WWII Historical Fiction novel, Sisters Under the Rising Sun primarily focuses on the stories of female Austrailian Army nurses who are prisoners of war of the Japanese Army who were captured feeling Singapore in 1942. I knew little to nothing of this specifically, despite having lived for nearly a decade in this region.
I appreciated the educational value of the story but grew a little bit weary of the overly wrought emotional storytelling. I did really enjoy the narration. The accents were phenomenal.
As always, delicately and sensitively written. An important piece of history, particularly womens' history.
