A memoir (though told in the third person) of Inge Sargent, an Austrian who in 1953 married Sao Kya Seng, the princely leader of Shan, an ethnic enclave in the hill country of northeastern Burma. She immersed herself in Burmese culture, and lived together with her husband and daughters at the palace in Hsipaw until he was executed in a military coup in 1962. A fascinating story.
