When a chance encounter and a haunting dream steer her toward distant Burma, she decides to spend the summer after high school volunteering in a Buddhist monastery. Adela finds fresh confidence as she immerses herself in her new environment, teaching English to the monks and studying meditation with the wise abbot. Then there's her secret romance with Thiha, an ex-political prisoner with a shadowy past. But when some of the monks express support for the persecution of the country's Muslim minority, Adela glimpses the turmoil that lies beneath Burma's tranquil surface. While investigating the country's complex history, she becomes determined to help stop communal violence. With Thiha's assistance, she concocts a scheme that quickly spirals out of control. Adela must decide whether to back down or double down, while protecting those she cares about from the backlash of Buddhist and Muslim extremists. Set against the backdrop of Burma's fractured transition to democracy, this coming- of-age story weaves critiques of voluntourism and humanitarian intervention into a young woman's quest for connection across cultural boundaries."--Provided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Religious fundamentalism|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh93007053|vFiction.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001562 650 0 Volunteers|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85144372|vFiction.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001562 650 0 Buddhist monasteries|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85086694|vFiction.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001562 650 7 Religious fundamentalism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1094078 650 7 Volunteers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1169120 650 7 Buddhist monasteries.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1727613 651 0 Burma|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80021691 |vFiction.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99001562 651 7 Burma.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1207835 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 655 7 Bildungsromans.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1726536 655 7 Novels.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1921742 655 7 Political fiction.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1726702 655 7 Religious fiction.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1726718 655 7 Bildungsromans.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026243 655 7 Religious fiction.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026502 655 7 Political fiction.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026482 655 7 Novels.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/ gf2015026020 776 08 |iPrint version:|z0875807771|z9780875807775 830 0 NIU Southeast Asian series.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2020104683 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2238956|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
