Hardback. Condition: Good. Not Out of Hate-published in Burmese in 1955 and set in 1939-42-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.
