I can't remember much... This was an audiobook that I listened to several years ago - maybe between 2007 and 2012. ::semi-SPOILER ALERT::




In the story, the family encounters some struggles, injury, and I believe there was also a birth. If I recall correctly, the boy may have even gotten separated from his family at one point.

Could it be Ireland? (view spoiler)[I recently saw a book advertised where as the result of something, an American family is stranded in Ireland and trying to get back to the U.S. (hide spoiler)] I didn't buy it (or even read it) but if that might be it, I'll see if I can locate where I looked at it. (It was on sale for 99 cents the day that I saw it, and I get a couple of email lists that come daily with books that are free or on super sale.)

Possibly The Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh? Set in Burma.
