Heather Morris – författare

Ett löfte om att hålla ihop.En intensiv vilja att överleva.

Som barn ger Cibi, Magda och Livia ett löfte till sin far att de ska hålla ihop oavsett vad som händer i livet. Flera år senare skickas 15-åriga Livia till Auschwitz och 19-åriga Cibi följer med henne, fast besluten att hålla sitt löfte och skydda sin syster, eller dö med henne. I deras hemstad i Slovakien håller sig 17-åriga Magda gömd för nazisterna men det tar inte lång tid förrän även hon tillfångatas och skickas till Auschwitz.

Återförenade i förintelselägret avger systrarna ett nytt löfte: att de ska klara sig levande genom det här.

1942. När Singapore faller offer för den japanska armén placerar den engelska musikern Norah Chambers i desperation sin åttaåriga dotter Sally på ett skepp bort från ön. När staden kort därefter står i lågor ansluter sig den australiska sjuksköterskan Nesta James till de skräckslagna människor, ibland dem den förkrossade Norah, som trängs ombord på HMS Vyner Brooke. Efter bara två dagar till sjöss bombarderas fartyget och sjunker.

Nesta och Norah når Indonesien där de tillfångatas och flyttas till ett av japanernas ökända fångläger som präglas av svält och brutalitet. Men även där finns glädje i musiken, i Norahs "röstorkester" som hjälper de internerade att hålla humöret uppe. De vänskapsband de knyter med dussintals andra kvinnor i lägret ger Nesta och Norah hoppet, styrkan och kamratskapet de behöver för att överleva.

Systrar under en uppgående sol berättar historien om kvinnor i krig: en roman om systerskap, tapperhet och motståndskraft under de mörkaste av omständigheter, från den bästsäljande författaren till Tatueraren i Auschwitz, Cilkas resa och Tre systrar.

1942. När Singapore intas av den japanska armén, skickar den engelska musikern Norah Chambers i ren desperation iväg sin åttaåriga dotter Sally på ett skepp. När staden kort därefter står i lågor tvingas även den förkrossade Norah att fly. En av alla skräckslagna människor som trängs ombord på skeppet HMS Vyner Brooke är den australiska sjuksköterskan Nesta James. Efter bara två dagar till sjöss bombarderas fartyget och sjunker.

Nesta och Norah når Indonesien där de tillfångatas och flyttas till ett av japanernas ökända fångläger som präglas av svält och brutalitet. Trots de grymma förhållandena hittar de glädje i musiken. Norahs 'röstorkester' hjälper de internerade att hålla humöret uppe. De vänskapsband som Norah och Nesta knyter med dussintals andra kvinnor i lägret ger dem hoppet, styrkan och kamratskapet de behöver för att överleva.

Systrar under en uppgående sol är en historia om kvinnor i krig. Det är en roman om systerskap, tapperhet och motståndskraft under de mörkaste av omständigheter, av den bästsäljande författaren till Tatueraren i Auschwitz, Cilkas resa och Tre systrar.

Heather Morris är född i Nya Zeeland men bor numera i Melbourne, Australien. 2003 presenterades hon för en äldre gentleman , som sades ha en historia att berätta. Dagen hon mötte Lale Sokolov förändrade bådas liv och allteftersom deras vänskap växte anförtrodde Lale Heather Morris sina innersta hemligheter ur sitt liv som lägerfånge och tatuerare. Berättelsen blev så småningom hennes debutroman, Tatueraren  i Auschwitz, som fått ett fantastiskt mottagande och alltjämt stigande försäljningssiffror. Uppföljarna Cilkas resa och Tre systrar blev även de stora internationella framgångar.

From the #1 bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz comes a heartbreaking contemporary novel full of the author’s characteristic empathy and understanding of the human condition: a dying teenager with a final wish, a lonely young man on a journey towards connection, and the unexpected friendship they find together, this is an irresistible and unforgettable read for fans of Jojo Moyes, Jodi Picoult, and John Green.

Jesse is fifteen. She loves her friends, her little brother and her parents, even when they’re arguing, which feels constant these days. But most of all, she loves playing video games. Even from her hospital bed.

Alex is twenty-nine. He doesn't love a lot of things and isn’t really sure he knows how to. A virtual reality games designer, his work desk is empty except for his computer, much like his life sometimes feels.

Then Jesse makes a wish. A simple one: a video experience made of her life, something to be there, just in case she isn’t.

One loving teenager.

One lonely adult.

Which one will get the happy ending?
