Sisters Under the Rising Sun by Heather Morris
4.0
Short synopsis: Set during WWII, a group of women are taken captive off the coast of Indonesia by Japanese soldiers. Their story of resilience despite brutality and starvation.
My thoughts: My oh my do I love a strong female protagonist during wartime! The women in this story are based off the stories of women who survived these situations. While this is difficult to read, their bravery, perseverance, and strength are astounding!
The audio was so well done in this, going so far as to get a choir from Australia to sing the prisoner songs, songs that uplifted and strengthened women during this trying time.
I also really enjoyed the authors note and the stories from the families at the end!
