Burmese Lessons: A true love story by Karen Connelly

4.0

This is one of the books that I had to parse out my reading times as I was so enthralled with the characters. True story of Canadian PEN member who travels to Burma to meet with imprisoned writers. It is in the neighboring Thailand where she meets and falls in love with one of the exiled guerilla leaders. Captivating book that brings alive the sights, sounds and smells of South east asia. Immediately brought me back to years ago living with a Karen Hill Tribe in the rainforest of Thailand. I am thrilled to seek out her other books now!
