<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Myanmar - shrouded in mystery, misunderstood and isolated for half a century.</p><p><br></p><p>After a whirlwind romance in Bangladesh, Australian journalist Jessica Mudditt and her Bangladeshi husband Sherpa arrive in Yangon in 2012 - just as the military junta is beginning to relax its ironclad grip on power. It is a high-risk atmosphere; a life riddled with chaos and confusion as much as it is with wonder and excitement.</p><p><br></p><p>Jessica joins a small team of old-hand expat editors at The Myanmar Times, whose Burmese editor is still languishing in prison. Whether she is covering a speech by Aung San Suu Kyi, getting dangerously close to cobras, directing cover shoots with Burmese models, or scaling Bagan's thousand-year-old temples, Jessica is entranced and challenged by a country undergoing rapid change.</p><p><br></p><p>But as the historic elections of 2015 draw near, it becomes evident that the road to democracy is full of twists, turns and false starts. The couple is blindsided when a rise in militant Buddhism takes a personal turn and challenges their belief that they have found a home in Myanmar.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Our Home in Myanmar is a delightful read, both an accessible introduction to Myanmar and a candid behind-the-scenes look at journalism in a developing country." JOHN GRANT ROSS, BOOKISH ASIA</p><p><br></p><p>"Jessica Mudditt deftly brings home the absurdity, humour, danger and enchantment of life in Myanmar in a time of change." JEREMY FERNANDEZ, ABC SYDNEY NEWS ANCHOR</p><p><br></p><p>"Reading Jessica's book is like sitting down with a friend over a few glasses of wine... For a beautifully paced, enlightening and empathetic account of what it took to get by in this beguiling, but sadly blighted land, with love and some laughs along the way, I truly recommend you spend time with Jessica."
