Description: "Karen Connelly finds herself in Burma in the mid-nineties, at once enthralled by the grace and generosity of the Burmese people and immersed in the world of revolutionaries fighting an armed insurgency against a brutal military dictatorship. Connelly first comes to love a wounded, remarkably beautiful country, then a gifted man who has given his life to its struggle for political change."--Back cover.
