The latest discovery is "The Boy of the Bamboo Shadows' by Kim White
Beneath the emerald canopies of the Southeast Asian hills, where bamboo
shadows drift with the wind and rivers carry the songs of many generations,
lies a world few outsiders have truly seen. The Boy of the Bamboo Shadows
grew out of a fascination with that world - the world of the Karen people,
whose history, culture and systems of belief intertwine nature, spirit, and
survival in ways both fragile and enduring.
This story follows one boy's journey through that landscape, but it also seeks
to carry the reader deeper: into a culture that has learned to walk lightly
between forest and field, village and mountain. the visible and the unseen.
The adventure is imagined yet grounded in traditions and struggles that
remain vividly real, shaped by centuries of resilience and quiet faith.....
The previous addition to my list is “Butterflies” by Sylvia Yu & Matthew S. Friedman.
ADVANCE PRAISE FOR BUTTERFLIES
‘Butterflies is a highly compelling story. A story the must be told, as it raises awareness that human rights violations, such as the horrors of sexual abuse during World War II, continue in our present times in many places, in different forms, and with new media.
Butterflies also shows us the power of apologies and – if possible – of forgiveness.
