Beschreibung:
Karel Van Loon is the acclaimed author of three novels which have been translated into many languages. He researched this book while living among Burmese refugees in Mae Sot, Thailand. He was born in Holland in 1962 and died in July 2005.
In this gripping novel, harrowing descriptions of the fate of Burma's political prisoners blend with Buddhist myth, lyrical descriptions of the land and memories of a carefree childhood through the story of a provincial lawyer.
