The Golden Land

The Golden Land - Di Morrissey, Kate Hood I loved The Opal Desert, but for me The Golden Land was less enjoyable. The author's research translated into long, inauthentic speeches in dialogue, instead of emerging organically. I felt that the lecturing got in the way of immersion and characterisation; so I was left knowing more about Burma, but caring little about the main characters.Not bad, but I wanted more.
