Letters from Burma by Aung San Suu Kyi

5.0

Beautifully written collection of 3 page essays, each accompanied by a drawing, that illustrate the reality of living as a political activist in Burma. Somehow Aung San Suu Kyi managed to cover topics from British mystery novels to traditions to the mysterious deaths of political prisoners and other injustices she and others faced with just the right balance of interesting and pointed to make each topic equally captivating. I imagine she is exceptionally graceful in person and can see why she is admired by many.
