Using novelistic techniques to weave together the patient endurance of the Burmese, together with their fragility and immense charm, the author makes us feel the weight of the current regime, from the girls who work on the building-sites, to the drunken pirates who profit from the chaos.

This expression of the pain of Burma uses novelistic techniques to weave together the patient endurance of its stricken inhabitants, together with their fragility and immense charm. Through his studies of the lives of the individual Burmese whom he encounters, the author makes us feel the weight of the regime under which they labour, from the girls who work on the building-sites under appallingly exploitative conditions to the drunken pirates who profit from the chaos.

Rory MacLean trained as a screenwriter. Apart from winning the Yorkshire Post Best First Book Award, he is also the winner of the Independent Travel Writing Award. He is married and lives in Dorset.
