Publisher Description

Natalie is a young Gold Coast mother with a loving husband, two small children, and a happy lifestyle. While helping her mother move house, she finds a little box containing a Burmese artifact. When Natalie learns its unique history through a letter left by her great-great uncle, it ignites her interest in its origins and her uncle's unfulfilled plans for this curio. Her investigations collide with her own dramatically changing circumstances and create a dilemma that challenges the core of her marriage as she finds herself immersed in two very different golden lands.

"I love the fact that when you read a Di Morrissey book, you will learn something! I loved reading about Burma, along with the story of Natalie and her family. My mother in law is from Burma, so this was particularly interesting for me. This is my favourite of Di's books so far."

    " Thanks to Sharron for giving me this book as a xmas gift, I loved it. Di's ability to describe the country's she writing about in such detail as to make you believe that you are there is amazing. "

    " Just didn't work for me. Previous Morrissey novels left me feeling uplifted but the earnestness of Natalie in this one grated all the way through and I was just relieved to get to the end. I felt the story was contrived and Natalie was just annoying. Disappointed. "

    " The best part of this book was the last third when Natalie finally gets to Burma - feels like you are there discovering Burma alongside her. The first two thirds were a struggle to get through - not great writing and unnatural dialogue - trying to pass on too much information. "

    " The latest edition to the Di Morrissey collection, I found this novel less engaging than others I have read by her. While the book was easy to read and similar to the journeys Di portrays in most of her books, it didn't captivate me this time around "
