1945. The Americian Air Force bombs Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan immediately surrenders, and years of abject suffering and humiliation end for a group of women prisoners in a Japanese Camp.

But lineration to the luxury of Raffles Hotel brings its own bitterness and disappointments - for after their horrifying experiances life can never be the same for these women: women like the sane and reasonable Marion, unable to abandon her role as leader and resume that of wife; like Beatrice Mason, whose eyesight has been ruined in captivity; like Dorothy, hounded for her affairs with the Japs; and Maggie whose hurriedly snatched pleasures have unfortunate results...
