I also thought of Nevil Shute's A Town Like Alice about a love story
set in Burma, I think, between an Australian soldier and a British
woman prisoner.
Interesting theme...

I thought immediately of My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult which has a
13-year-old girl petitioning the court for medical emancipation to
prevent her parents from forcing her to donate a kidney to her sister.
I also thought of Nevil Shute's A Town Like Alice about a love story
set in Burma, I think, between an Australian soldier and a British
woman prisoner.

Also Nevil Shute's The Pied Piper, about an Englishman in early WWII
Europe who is entrusted with more and more children to take back to
England with him.
