In 1942, country girls Minnie Hodgson and Margot McNee set sail from Perth,
Australia for Singapore in search of adventure, full of excitement and keen to
do their part working as nurses to the fallen soldiers in a time of war. What
they encounter is an army of new friends and the terrors of a city under siege.
When the Japanese attack and Singapore falls, they are forced to flee aboard the
Vyner Brooke . The ship is bombed, resulting in utter devastation. Separated in
the mayhem, one group of nurses find themselves in prisoner-of-war camps for the
duration of the war, surviving on their wits, with humour, dignity, loyalty and
determination. But another group of young Australian nurses - the girls on the
beach - are washed ashore on Banka Island, where they will meet a fate that must
never be forgotten.
Inspired by the author's own family story, this is an unforgettable novel of
enduring friendship and boundless courage, based on the shocking true events of
the Bangka Isla...
