"A moving story that travels from a remote hill village to modern Cambridge by way of a brutal regime and the struggle of decent, ordinary people to counter it. A thrilling and fascinating page-turner."
'Sunday Times'
A member of a tiny, remote Burmese tribe famous for their 'giraffe-necked' women, student Pascal Khoo Thwe was forced to flee to the jungle during the rise of the corrupt military dictatorship. His lover had been arrested, raped and murdered by the armed forces, and Pascal became a guerrilla fighter. But a chance meeting with Dr. John Casey, a Cambridge Don visiting Mandalay, would change both their lives forever.
Overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles and danger, the two men strike up a scholarly correspondence that would take Pascal from the brutal hardships of guerrilla warfare to the hallowed world of Cambridge University. This is the moving true story of his extraordinary life and miraculous journey.
"More than a record of an astonishing life, this book is a work of art."
'Financial Times'
"A wonderfully moving account of growing up in a 'dream culture' in a remote Burmese village where it was considered natural to see and talk to ghosts."
