Descripción
The phenomenal new novel, based on a true story, from the multimillion-copy bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Cilka's Journey and Three Sisters.
1942. Singapore is falling to the Japanese Army. English musician Norah Chambers places her eight-year-old daughter Sally on a ship leaving Singapore, desperate to keep her safe. As the island burns, Australian nurse Nesta James joins the terrified cargo of people, including the heartbroken Norah, crammed aboard the HMS Vyner Brooke. After only two days at sea, the ship is bombarded and sunk.
Nesta and Norah reach the beaches of Indonesia only to be captured and held in one of the notorious Japanese POW camps, places of starvation and brutality. But even here joy can be found, in music, where Norah's 'voice orchestra' transports the internees from squalor into light. The friendships they build with the dozens of other women in the camps will give them the hope, strength and camaraderie they need in order to stay alive.
Sisters under the Rising Sun tells the story of women in war: a novel of sisterhood, bravery and resilience in the darkest of circumstances.

One of the bestselling books of the 21st century, soon to be a major new TV series starring Harvey Keitel and Melanie Lynskey I tattooed a number on her arm. She tattooed her name on my heart... In 1942, Lale Sokolov arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau. He was given the job of tattooing the prisoners marked for survival - scratching numbers into his fellow victims' arms in indelible ink to create what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust. Waiting in line to be tattooed, terrified and shaking, was a young girl. For Lale - a dandy, a jack-the-lad, a bit of a chancer - it was love at first sight. And he was determined not only to survive himself, but to ensure this woman, Gita, did, too. So begins one of the most life-affirming, courageous, unforgettable and human stories of the Holocaust: the love story of the tattooist of Auschwitz. Discover the incredible bestselling The Tattooist of Auschwitz trilogy, with Cilka's Journey and Three Sisters also available now. Sisters under the Rising Sun, Heather Morris's exceptional new novel, based on a true story of women in Japanese prison of war camps, is available in hardback now.

Una conmovedora historia de superación en la Segunda Guerra Mundial contada con la maestría de la autora de El tatuador de Auschwitz.Cuando lo perdieron todo, el destino las unió. El 14 de febrero de 1942, el Vyner Brooke, un barco mercante que transportaba a un grupo desesperado de expatriados que huían de Singapur fue hundido por bombarderos japoneses. Aunque muchos de los pasajeros se ahogaron de inmediato, Nesta, enfermera australiana y Norah sobrevivieron milagrosamente pero fueron tomadas como prisioneras de guerra y trasladadas a campos. Durante casi cuatro años, junto con cientos de mujeres y niños, lucharon por sobrevivir, contra enfermedades, el hambre y la brutalidad impensable infligida por los soldados japoneses y consiguieron encontrar, en sí mismas y juntas, un coraje e ingenio extraordinarios. Esta es una historia de hermandad: los lazos inquebrantables que las mujeres forjan frente a la adversidad. Una historia de cómo las mujeres de todo el mundo pelearon y ganaron la Segunda Guerra Mundial, de diferentes maneras, tanto como lo hicieron los hombres.
