This book is based on a true story of a young woman who miraculously survived a Japanese death march covering 1200 miles in WWII IN Malaysia (true store setting was in Sumatra), and an Australian soldier who helped the band of marching women and children, for which he paid A terrible price. Very interesting and well written war romance that holds your attention throughout. I learned a lot about the Malaysian people and culture, and about the Australian outback. The perspective of the racial relations between the white Australians and the Aboriginals at that time was of particular interest. Highly recommend it! Action, adventure, history and romance. What more could you ask?
