A moving tale of two siblings discovering family and identity amid the cultural echoes of war-torn pastsYumisan, a young Japanese teacher, arrives in Myanmar to teach at the Yangon Institute of Foreign Languages, carrying a deep admiration for Burmese culture and language, which she studied passionately in Japan. Yet, her journey holds a deeper purpose: to reunite with her half-brother, Maung Maung, born from her father's second marriage in Myanmar after her mother's death in Japan.Dreaming of a warm sibling connection, Yumisan's hopes are shattered when she meets Maung Maung, who harbors a deep resentment toward his Japanese heritage. His childhood was marked by discrimination and suffering tied to his father's identity as a Japanese military officer. Adopted by U Thet Lwin, a compassionate Burmese language teacher, Maung Maung found a surrogate family but retained his emotional scars and mistrust of his roots.Yumisan hesitates to reveal her identity, fearing Maung Maung's rejection. With U Thet Lwin's guidance, she seeks to bridge the chasm between them, slowly building an understanding despite her brother's guarded demeanor. As they navigate the weight of their shared history and personal pain, Yumisan's perseverance and affection become a testament to familial love and resilience.Will Maung Maung accept Yumisan as his sister? Can their fractured ties heal in the face of mistrust and lingering wounds? Set against the vibrant cultural backdrop of Myanmar, this poignant story explores themes of identity, reconciliation, and the transformative power of compassion and understanding.

paperback. Condition: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. Athens. 1991. May 1991. Ohio University Press. Reprinted Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780896801677. Ohio RIS Southeast Asia Series. Translated by Margaret Aung-Thwin and William Frederick. 260 pages. paperback. keywords: Historical General. DESCRIPTION - Not Out of Hate - published in Burmese in 1955 and set in 1939-1942 - was Ma Ma Lay's fifth novel and one that further cemented her status as one of twentieth-century Burma's foremost writers and voices for change. A journalist by trade, Lay applied her straightforward observational style with compassion and purpose to the story of Way Way, a teenage village girl whose quiet life assisting her father in his rice-brokerage business is disrupted by the arrival of U Saw Han, the cosmopolitan Burmese rice trader twenty years her senior. When she first encounters him, Way Way is entranced by his Western furnishings, servants, and mannerisms. The two marry, but before long, it becomes clear that U Saw Han's love is a stifling one that seeks to obliterate her traditional ways. Not Out of Hate was enormously popular in Burma and went through several editions in the 1950s and 1960s. When Ohio University Press published its English translation, in 1991, it became the first significant fictional account of prewar Burma available in English since George Orwell's Burmese Days, and provided a Burmese counterpoint to Orwell's novel. Translated into English here for the first time, the novel is an engaging drama, finely observed work of social realism, and stirring rejection of Western cultural dominance. inventory #48219. …
