Description

A Richard and Judy summer book club pick

'One of the books of the decade' - Richard Madeley

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

Singapore is burning. It is February 1942, and the Vyner Brooke is sailing out of the harbour and to safety. On deck is an English musician, Norah Chambers, who gazes over the besieged city as the beautiful voices of the Australian nurses on board sing 'Waltzing Matilda'.

One of these nurses is Nesta James, a pint-sized rocket of a woman, who quells her fears by caring for the frightened people on board.

But danger lies ahead. When Nesta and Norah meet at a female prisoner-of-war camp they must find strength and resilience they never knew they had. Can they work together to survive against all odds, and find hope in the darkest of days?

Sisters under the Rising Sun tells the inspiring true story of women at war and of the friendship and sisterhood that changed the generation that came after them.

Don't miss out on THE WISH - the new Heather Morris novel of unexpected friendship, love and legacy. Out now in hardback, ebook and audiobook.
About Heather Morris
Born in New Zealand, Heather Morris is passionate about stories of survival, resilience and hope. In 2003, while working in a large public hospital in Melbourne, Heather was introduced to an elderly gentleman who 'might just have a story worth telling'. The day she met Lale Sokolov changed both their lives. Lale's story formed the basis for The Tattooist of Auschwitz and the follow-up novel, Cilka's Journey. In 2021 she published the phenomenal conclusion to the Tattooist trilogy, Three Sisters, after being asked to tell the story of three Holocaust survivors who knew Lale from their time in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Together, her novels have sold more than 18 million copies worldwide. Sisters Under the Rising Sun, a heart-wrenching novel based upon the experiences of women in Japanese POW camps, was published in 2023 to great acclaim. Heather's first contemporary novel, The Wish, will be published in September 2025.
