In the year 1944, in the town of Kohima, India, everything changed when the Japanese forces invaded. Overnight, the life of seventeen-year-old Mari O'Leary and her sisters took a drastic turn as they were uprooted from their home and torn apart from their extended family. Amidst her longing for her fiancé Vic, a British soldier, Mari and her sisters embarked on a harrowing journey, fleeing from one village to another, surviving on wild herbs and seeking refuge or a reliable companion, until the chaos finally subsided.
Mari is a poignant tale that unveils the true story of a young girl amidst the backdrop of World War II. It vividly brings to life a forgotten place, Kohima, which bore the ravages of war long before it gained attention from the rest of the world. Through Mari's experiences, this sensitive narrative transports readers to a simpler time and reveals the resilience and endurance required to navigate through the trials of war.
