(Another Orange discovery!) Na Ga's story was so overwhelming and the way that the author pulled me in, with a quiet emotional intensity, surprised me. I found the ending <a href="http://www.buriedinprint.com/?p=3287" rel="nofollow">incredibly powerful</a> and didn't realize, until I got there, how strong my reaction would be. I hope more people give this one a try with the longlisting to bring readers' attention to it!Buried In Printhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00808249065026802365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-81156907769670516502011-05-03T08:50:41.644+01:002011-05-03T08:50:41.644+01:00I've just wandered over from Iris's review...I've just wandered over from Iris's review, Verity.

I tried to read Saving Fish from Drowning but got bogged down (probably wrong book for my mood right then) and didn't pick it up again, this sounds much more promising for learning more about present day Myanmar (how it's known in the bank I work for anyway!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-11917733992225868042011-03-31T20:37:18.769+01:002011-03-31T20:37:18.769+01:00Oh I'm interested in reading novels set in Bur...Oh I'm interested in reading novels set in Burma.
