Description
Eastern Star by Guy Slater In 1988, a pivotal event in Myanmar's history brought together two men who would forever be connected. A young BBC World Service reporter, Christopher Gunness, found himself at the centre of the 'Students' Revolution, which catapulted Daw Aung San Suu Kyi onto the international stage. His source was lawyer U Nay Min, the chief architect of the Revolution. Years later, as the anniversary of the uprising approached, Gunness managed to re-establish contact with Nay Min, who had been incarcerated at Insein Jail. Their reunion is a difficult and painful encounter, marked by guilt, recrimination, and long-hidden secrets. As they meet again, old wounds are reopened, forcing them to confront the consequences of their past actions. This powerful story explores the complexities of friendship, loyalty, and the enduring impact of historical events on personal lives.
