The River of Lost Footsteps: Histories of Burma by Thant Myint-U [in Bloomsbury Review]
Interweaving his own multigenerational family history, Thant thoughtfully presents the troubled story of his homeland from ancient times to its colonized modern legacy. Thant’s grandfather, U Thant, figures prominently in the title, once a small town schoolteacher who eventually serves as the Secretary-General of the United Nations in the 1960s.
