Book Description
A small group of teachers from around the world start their careers in a new and exciting school in Mandalay, a city in northern Myanmar. They form lasting relationships with one another that shape and define the rest of their lives. From their students and each other they learn about love and life until one event, equally hopeful and tragic, sends cracks through the foundation of their community and threatens to bring everything crumbling down around them. In his debut novel, Michael Charles tells the poignant yet inspiring stories of these people. They arrive in Mandalay separately but leave intertwined. The grand spiraling conclusion brings the characters back together from across borders, grown and changed for a last bittersweet moment, one that all started in Mandalay.

Book Description
This is a tale of a life few understand today: the human cost of Empire, where families were torn apart - a father seen once every four years - growing up in the Thirties, a time much talked and written about by those who never knew it; a strange Oxford; the war at its most savage against an enemy like no other. And then communicating to a generation that knew not these things the values we had fought for. It is the story of one who found a faith and who after a life longer than most believed others should know about it. Over these years the East followed the author until he said goodbye to it in a special way. A tale of struggle, but of much fun and a humour that lights up its pages . You will discover after reading this book that these years have been worth recalling.
