Book excerpt: A GRIPPING SURVIVOR STORY OF ONE FAMILY'S FLIGHT FROM BURMA DURING THE JAPANESE INVASION "As uplifting a testimonial to human courage as any to emerge from World War II."--Daily Mail (London) "A tale of hair-raising adventure, survival, love and loss, shot through with rage, polemic, unlikely humour and a rare spiritual sensibility."--Telegraph Magazine (London) "Unique and heartfelt . . . a tale of human resilience and bravery in the most desperate circumstances."--The Irish News "Written with simplicity, understanding, and surprising good humour. It deserves to be read."--The Times Educational Supplement (London)
