Sisters Under the Morning Sun — Heather Morris

In Sisters Under the Morning Sun, bestselling author Heather Morris weaves a powerful narrative of female resilience during World War II. As the Japanese forces advance through Southeast Asia, English musician Nora Chambers sends her young daughter Sally from Singapore in a desperate bid to save her life. Nurse Nesta James joins the mission, crossing paths with a frightened Nora after the sinking of a merchant ship. Together, stranded on the island of Banka and interned in prison camps, the two women form an unlikely bond. For three harrowing years, they and dozens of women and children fight for survival amid extreme hunger, disease, and the brutality of war. This 344-page Ukrainian hardback edition captures both the horror of conflict and the steadfast power of love, memory, and hope.
