Soft Cover. Zustand: As New. Second edition. The small nation of Laos was little known to most Westerners when the author and her husband, a USAID worker, moved to Laos in 1971. Befriended by two young Laotians, the author became a part of village life, joining holiday celebrations, weddings, funerals and feasts. Over a four-year period, she developed a deep admiration and affection for the Lao people. The humour and pathos of these chaotic years before the Communist take-over of the government in 1975 are chronicled by following one Lao family in Communist-controlled re-education camps, to their eventual resettlement in the United States. 256 pp., 1 map, 18 b&w photos Size: 21 x 15 cm.
