A poignant and fascinating depiction of the political / military situation in Burma, and the lead-up to the house arrest of An San Suu Kyi (the democracy campaigner). The parallel story of family life in Oxford - of her husband Michael Aris and her two sons - is shown in moving detail - especially the untimely death of Dr Aris due to cancer.
