*For our featured world country selection (this month its Myanmar): If the book selected by popular vote is not written by a native or resident author, the book written by a native/resident author with the highest votes will also be selected, resulting in two book selections for that country.

Myanmar/Burma: Letters from Burma by Aung San Suu Kyi

PeekingLlama - Laura wrote: "...Myanmar: The Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh... "

That's a good one.

Then I will nominate for Myanmar: Burmese Days by George Orwell.

I remember hearing about Emma Larkin's Everything Is Broken: A Tale of Catastrophe in Burma when it came out.

That said, I am just as interested, if not more, in Aung San Suu Kyi's Letters from Burma. It's a shame that Burma is in turmoil again with the military's crackdown on Rohingya Muslims.

For Myanmar, I nominate Miss Burma by Charmaine Craig. It was included in this week's National Book Awards Longlist for Fiction.
