A World Overturned Quotes

“My parents are there, but they are hazy figures, a tall stern-looking man in khaki shorts with green eyes, and my mother, petite and graceful, wearing a longyi, the Burmese version of the sarong, with a close-fitting jacket or blouse called an eingyi. And there are flowers in her hair, always jasmine.”
― Maureen Baird-Murray, A World Overturned: A Burmese Childhood 1933-1947
