"Sisters Under the Rising Sun" by Heather Morris brings together two very different women in a Japanese POW camp during World War II. English musician Norah gets her young daughter out safely, but remains behind to care for her husband and parents; Welsh Australian nurse Nesta is part of a group attempting to flee Singapore as it falls to the Japanese. When the two women are among those captured and imprisoned by the Japanese, they soon learn to rely on each other to make it through each day. They'll do their best to help who they can, how they can, as they wait to see how the war will determine their fates.
