Historical Fiction!!! YEA!!!
So this book was really awesome. I love historical fiction (cause it is awesome) and this was a very interesting spin on the over done historical time period of world war II.
So have any of you out there heard about what happened in Burma during World War II.
Do any of you out there know where Burma is?
Well I didn't until I read this book. It is about a boy with a English father, who is a plantation overseer-like person in Burma. (Not plantation how Americans think of it) His mother is American. The trouble between his parents starts when he is born, and when he is five, his mom takes him away from Burma and to America. He has been away from his father from 10 years, in America and London, and now with the bombs raining down on his London home, his mother sends him to Burma, thinking he would be safer there.
But if it was really safer in Burma, there wouldn't be much of a novel right?
This book has many twists and turns, a few predictable, but it still kept me wanting more.
A good read for a good story and a way to learn about a section of history unknown to history class.
