{"product_id":"whispers-of-hope-chris-mabey-9789814954259","title":"Whispers of Hope: A Family Memoir of Myanmar","description":"As a British teenager, I meet a beautiful Burmese girl on the school bus. Her family self-exiled in 1964, soon after the military coup, to start a new life in England. My fascination is fired for this far-off land. How did Burma, with such a regal past, swathed in natural beauty and populated by a people of unmistakable poise and serenity slide into repression and obscurity? How can the up-beat memories of April's parents be reconciled with Myanmar's current malaise? Over 16 years I recorded the oral history, anecdotes and reminiscences of her family who were eye witnesses to momentous events in mid-century Burma. These together with more recent conversations - with Aung San Suu Kyi and a range of Burmese millennials - provide a unique portrait of Myanmar stretching back to April's great, great grandfather in 1852. For all the woes of this country, whispers of hope can be heard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Mabey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 981495425X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789814954259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.14w x 0.62d","brand":"Chris Mabey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130004730111,"sku":"9789814954259","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_63c195b8-c404-42e5-8eb4-4b118aab9ee4.jpg?v=1687467011","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/whispers-of-hope-chris-mabey-9789814954259","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
