Would like to give this 20 stars:

This is without a doubt my favorite book and movie. Watch the movie at least twice each year and never grow tired of the magnificnet writing. Wanted so much for "Mrs Bone" to love her Attorney, which she did, but not in the way he
would have liked. But also knew her heart was with the rough and tough man

Separated from their husbands, they are forced to march many miles to the prison camp. Without food or medicine, they suffer many hardships. They run across a couple of Aussie POW's who give them some food. After the war one of the women goes back tho the hometown of one of the men. A not to be missed... more info
