A beautifully written and absorbing story of exile and redemption set against the stark Patagonian wilderness at the start of the modern age. A story of irresistible passion, and quiet courage in the face of savagery.
The Karen, one of Burma's many minority peoples, have been waging an increasingly desperate war for autonomy against the Burmese government since 1949. Jonathan Falla, a nurse and prizewinning playwright, spent an illegal year in Burma with the Karen rebels.
