In a story of the power of love and country woven with human weakness, Gurney can't believe her former lover and the father of her son -- a pro-democracy guerrilla still in Burma/Myanmar -- could possibly be raising money for his army through opium sales. But what if the Myanmar dictatorship is building nuclear weapons? He'd do anything to stop it, and Gurney had to help him.

Anarchy, democracy, and dictatorship form an unholy alliance in this powerful first novel by American author Jenny Ruth Yasi. Gurney was pregnant with revolutionary Maung Naing's baby when she was separated from him in violent 1988 pro-democracy Burmese uprisings. A decade later, she's living a life she never expected in Boston, married to Robert, and mothering a privileged son who's getting into trouble in school. This romantic, suspense-filled drama portrays everyday heroes using the power of love to fight an indomitable fight for freedom.

"Jenny Yasi's engaging prose reveals the intimate, permanent effects of politics on families as well as the ways in which individuals chip away at a massive system of oppression, dreaming of freedom and even achieving inner peace."
-- Edith Mirante, author of "Burmese Looking Glass" and "Down the Rat Hole"

An earlier version of this novel was awarded the OMNI International Peacewriting Prize for Fiction.

The Whole Stunned World Between Boston and Burma edition by Jenny Ruth Yasi Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

This tremendously satisfying and lyrical story forces the reader to closely examine the true meanings of love and aggression. The Whole Stunned World Between Boston and Burma is a stunning articulation of the human price we pay for political injustice in SE Asia.
"The Whole Stunned World Between Boston and Burma" Jenny Ruth Yasi

This book contains history, romance, mystery, politics and offers an inside look at the problems between Burma (now called Myanmar) and Thailand. The story begins in 1999 and
goes until Oct. 2002 during which horrendous happenings were going on in Burma. The history is well researched and brings the war there into vivid mental pictures.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to start to learn about the war between
these two countries.
