Another "please help me find this book" one

Pretty sure it's one novel, but it's a tome. Setting: teenage British girl left with aunt/boarding school before WWII as father takes mother and baby sister to Singapore. Girl becomes enmeshed with wealthy family. Aunt has pervert suitor. Aunt dies in car crash. War begins, love, death, et cetera. Sister is finally reunited after the end of the war. That's it; googling isn't helping at all. Thanks!

Response by poster: Oh of course, thank you! For some reason I dismissed looking through her works as I misremembered this one as more, well, different, from her usual.

You’re welcome, it’s a good, cozy read for winter.

Ms. Pilcher wrote a lot of other books with probably similar plots and Germans love (not me) to watch soppy made-for-TV movies based on them.
