Singapore, February 1942. In the midst of World War II, Norah Chambers, a young British musician, watches the ship carrying her eight-year-old daughter to Australia sail away. Shortly after, as Singapore falls to Japanese forces, Norah is forced to flee on the Vyner Brooke, where she meets Nesta James, an Australian army nurse. After the ship is bombed and sunk, both women are captured and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp in the Indonesian jungle. Inspired by a true story, this novel follows the harrowing survival journey of two extraordinary women. Amidst starvation, violence, and disease, Norah and Nesta forge an unbreakable friendship that becomes their only source of hope.
