Guests of the Emperor

Paperback

Condition: Very Good

Author Janice Young Brooks has published several historical novels; including Seventrees; Glory; and Guests of the Emperor; which was made into a television movie of the week entitled Silent Cries. Guests of the Emperor Privileged and innocent; they thought they were protected from the ravages of the Second World War. But when Singapore fell early to the Japanese; there was no escape and hundreds of British and American women were sent to an isolated prison camp; as guests of the Emperor." Terrified; outraged; and abandoned; four very different women must find the strength of survival from deep within--to fight the enemy with their spirit; passion; and the dream of freedom. My best historical. It was an 'important' book I wish everyone could read. The movie made of it runs occasionally on the Lifetime Channel. It comes in two different cover treatments. --> Genre: Literary Fiction Historical
