Acerca de esta escucha

"Absolutely riveting. A stay-up-all night read about two very different women who discover just how strong they can be—and just how much they'll dare—during the brutal Japanese occupation of the Philippines in World War II. This story of endurance and sisterhood will have you turning pages late into the night." —Lauren Willig, New York Times bestselling author

If you loved Beantown Girls by Jane Healey and Hazel Gaynor’s When We Were Young & Brave, then you won’t want to miss critically acclaimed author Elise Hooper’s powerful new novel of the Angels of Bataan, nurses held as prisoners during the occupation of the Philippines in World War II.

Their survival would depend on sisterhood and service.

Inspired by the extraordinary true stories of World War II’s American Army nurses famously known as the Angels of Bataan and the unsung contributions of Filipinas of the resistance, this novel transports us to a remarkable era of hope, bravery, perseverance, and ultimately—victory.

The Philippines, 1941: Tess Abbott, an American Army nurse, has fled the hardships of the Great Depression at home for the glamour and adventure of Manila, one of the most desirable postings in the world. But everything changes when the Japanese Imperial Army invades with lightning speed and devastating results. Tess and her band of nurses serve on the front lines until they are captured as prisoners of war and held behind the high stone walls of Manila’s Santo Tomas Internment Camp.

When the Japanese occupation of her beloved homeland commences, Flor Dalisay, a Filipina university student, will be drawn into the underground network of resistance, discovering within herself reserves of courage, resilience, and leadership she never knew she possessed.

As the war continues, Tess and Flor face danger, deprivation, and terror, leading them into a web of danger as they unexpectedly work together to save lives and win their freedom.

At last I better understand the Pacific arena. My Marine dad landed on the second wave of Iwo Jima. He never talked about the war - ever. Now I know more of what the war in the Pacific was like. These characters were like real people with skills, hunger as food ran low, with patients who had devastating injuries; all with considerable courage. At last I feel I have a better understanding of the thoughts, fears and hopes of the people who fought for us in the Pacific.

Tess is voiced perfectly. Flor… not so much. Very hard on the ears. Might be better read hard copy.

Great story, one of the performers is awful to listen to

Wen I was a child I remember my Uncle talking about the Baton death march.He had been with the Army that went along the route and looked for evidence of the men who died along that road. He said they found dog tags, teeth and the evidence of hundreds of men and women who died during that forced march. Later after I was married I lived in a compound on Luzon outside Clark Air Base. Many people talked about the march as the highway was named McArther Highway. This story is one not usually thought about. It’s one I would recommend to anyone who enjoys reading about history.

Memories are Valuable Assets

Well written story depicting the early days through to the end of WWII in the Philippines whose history is being forgotten.

Fiction reflecting history’s little known events.

My only criticism is that there is no Table of contents, and most of the chapter titles alternate between two character names, so it is difficult to locate where you left off.

Good story well told. True to life.

I'm ashamed to say I know far more about the European details of WWII than th Pacific. This story filled in some gaps for me & made me eager to know more. The writing was very good. The narrator for Tess was especially good, although the narrator for Flor quickly improved. Certainly a worthwhile story.

what a good story

None of us today know first hand the struggles of WW 2, especially in Asia. This was a reminder of the horrors and devastation brought on there. But it’s also a story of love and hope. Great listen!

Couldn’t stop listening
