Singapore, 1942: As Japanese troops sweep down Malaysia and into Singapore, villages are ransacked leaving few survivors, and those young daughters who are spared are captured and forced to work as 'comfort women' servicing Japanese soldiers in makeshift brothels . . .
Weaving together two time lines and two very big secrets, How We Disappeared draws in part from the author's family's own experiences as it shines a light on a little-known period of history, revealing the strength and bravery shown by numerous women in the face of terrible cruelty.
"A devastatingly beautiful piece of literature, How We Disappeared does the important and necessary job of introducing readers to stories and lives which would otherwise have been conveniently forgotten." --
