Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A moving tale of two siblings discovering family and identity amid the cultural echoes of war-torn pastsYumisan, a young Japanese teacher, arrives in Myanmar to teach at the Yangon Institute of Foreign Languages, carrying a deep admiration for Burmese culture and language, which she studied passionately in Japan. Yet, her journey holds a deeper purpose- to reunite with her half-brother, Maung Maung, born from her father's second marriage in Myanmar after her mother's death in Japan.Dreaming of a warm sibling connection, Yumisan's hopes are shattered when she meets Maung Maung, who harbors a deep resentment toward his Japanese heritage. His childhood was marked by discrimination and suffering tied to his father's identity as a Japanese military officer. Adopted by U Thet Lwin, a compassionate Burmese language teacher, Maung Maung found a surrogate family but retained his emotional scars and mistrust of his roots.Yumisan hesitates to reveal her identity, fearing Maung Maung's rejection. With U Thet Lwin's guidance, she seeks to bridge the chasm between them, slowly building an understanding despite her brother's guarded demeanor. As they navigate the weight of their shared history and personal pain, Yumisan's perseverance and affection become a testament to familial love and resilience.Will Maung Maung accept Yumisan as his sister? Can their fractured ties heal in the face of mistrust and lingering wounds? Set against the vibrant cultural backdrop of Myanmar, this poignant story explores themes of identity, reconciliation, and the transformative power of compassion and understanding.
