I won a copy of this book in a Goodreads giveaway and am I ever glad I did. This book follows an American nurse stationed in The Philipines and the sister of a Filipino nurse during WWII. One aspect of the book I enjoyed was some chapters written in first person and others in third, depending on which character the paragraph referred to. I have not read many WWII genre novels that take place in the Pacific theater and this was a good one. I definitely learned what the internment of the Angels of Bataan may have been like and also some history of The Philipines. The imagery was plentiful as was the emotional aspect of the subjects. This is a must read book in the hisorical fiction genre.
