Sisters Under the Rising Sun by Heather Morris
5.0
For the first half of this story I was fooled into thinking it wasn’t anywhere near as harrowing as The Tattooist. Foolish me.
I remember watching the TV series Tenko, and thinking at the time that the conditions in the Japanese prison camps were appalling. I also remember admiring the tenacity and spirit of the female inmates who did what they needed to do to survive.
What this story has in addition to that is a sense of family and a spirit of togetherness; there’s compassion amongst the women, rather that conflict.
Despite its subject matter, this is a touching story of hope and optimism. Have your tissues handy.
