Burmese Lessons: A true love story by Karen Connelly
4.0
At times this book dragged. I had a hard time with her love affair - partly I think because in the first 1/3 it seems that she might be going to have a relationship with her guide in Burma. I personally had become attached to him, so when Maung came along I didn't like him.
However, Connelly certainly can write and it is her descriptions and phrasing that make this book work for me. I cared deeply about Myanmar and the people she wrote about. It is thought provoking, terrifying and heartbreaking all at the same time.
