Product Overview
Canadian poet Karen Connelly was a young woman when she left home to live for one year in Denchai, a small farming community in northern Thailand. This lyrical portrait of her true-life adventures radiates wit and literary charm. The swampy jungles, the lure of hedonistic Bangkok, the austere, ambient Buddhism, and the torrential rains serve as backdrops for Connellys carefully crafted prose. Her account combines a keen sense of adventure with an affinity for Thai culture, chronicling the countrys intriguing underpinnings and exotic charms.
