In any town in India, the European club is the place where everyone wishes to be a part of. In one very rare case it was successful, U Po Kyin, the Subdivisional Magistrate of Kyauktada (where the novel was based on), wishes to be in the European social club which wasn’t much but it meant so much to the burmese people an the rest of Kyauktada because it was where the most respected people came to socialize.

She shared her own life in a way that empowered her audience to create stories from their life.” - Anchorage Public Library, 2023 ![]() Her presentation was engaging and relatable, just like her books.
