Letters from Burma

A series of letters from Daw Aung San Su Kyi during the brief gap of 20 plus years long house arrest during the 90s to be published in a certain newspaper. (She might have mentioned the name in the book, but I couldn't remember)

Unlike her other book Freedom from Fear, this book is filled with many poignant stories about her daily life, lovely stories of cultural events and political events centered around her life as a political dissident. I love many of her delicate metaphors. The tremendous mental strength - facing the challenges that laid before her - emerges through her writings and inspired me unlike any other books I have ever read.
