A unique portrait of Burma and a powerfully evocative memoir of a daughter and her father
Wendy Law-Yone was born in Mandalay, Burma, and grew up in Rangoon before fleeing the country at the age of twenty. In America, where she settled for the next three decades, she published two novels, The Coffin Tree and Irrawaddy Tango. A David T.K. Wong creative writing fellowship at the University of East Anglia brought her to the UK in 2002, and she has stayed here ever since. Her third novel, The Road to Wanting, was longlisted for the Orange Prize. She lives in London with her husband.
