Burma's Spring

â€˜Burma Spring is an extraordinary vox pop exercise that puts you in touch with what people in Burma are thinking and feeling. This is reportage at its best, listening-post reportage where the reporter disappears and all you can hear are Burmese voices. Itâ€™s a remarkable achievement.â€™
RSAA Journal of Asian Affairs

â€œA vibrant and comprehensive depiction â€¦ an affectionate, colourful book.â€
Rt. Hon. John Bercow

â€œAn extraordinarily beautiful, comprehensive and compelling story â€¦ essential reading for anyone interested in understanding Burma today.â€
Benedict Rogers, author of Burma: A Nation at the Crossroads

"Burmaâ€™s Spring is like nothing else written about Burma â€¦ compelling, charming and unique. No other book I know of has got under the skin of such a wide variety of Burmese, bringing them to life on the page."
Peter Popham, author of The Lady and the Peacock, the Life of Aung San Suu Kyi

Burmaâ€™s Spring documents the struggles of ordinary people made extraordinary by circumstance. Rosalind Russell, a British journalist who came to live in Burma with her family, witnessed a time of unprecedented change in a secretive country that had been locked under military dictatorship for half a century.

Her memoir carries the reader through a turbulent era of uprising, disaster and political awakening with a vivid retelling of her encounters as an undercover reporter.

From the world famous democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi to the broken-hearted domestic worker Mu Mu, a Buddhist monk to a punk, a palm reader to a girl band, these are stories of tragedy, resilience and hope â€“ woven together in a vivid portrait of a land for so long hidden from view.
