In this stunning debut, author @elizabethshickauthor takes on an achingly raw and remarkably vivid journey of a Burmese American attempting to reconcile her past. In this memorable dual-timeline novel, the reader is as captivated by Etta's current life, as by the fairly recent historical events that she and her family were caught in the middle of in Burma in the late 80s. All at once a coming-of-age story and a tribute to the importance of family, The Golden Land is a powerful meditation on the weight of our own cultural history.As always, I am captivated by historical fiction, specifically recent history that I was alive for, but too young to understand the significance of. Enter authors such as Ms. Shick to engage readers in stories that teach and enlighten.
If you're looking for a novel that relays cultural understanding of Mayanmar's political unrest in an accessible manner, look no further!
