Adela Frost wants to do something with her life. When a chance encounter and a haunting dream steer her toward distant Burma, she decides to spend the summer after high school volunteering in a Buddhist monastery. Adela finds fresh confidence as she immerses herself in her new environment, teaching English to the monks and studying meditation with the wise abbot. Then there's her secret romance with Thiha, an ex-political prisoner with a shadowy past. But when some of the monks express support for the persecution of the country's Rohingya Muslim minority, Adela glimpses the turmoil that lies beneath Burma's tranquil surface. While investigating the country's complex history, she becomes determined to help stop communal violence. With Thiha's assistance, she concocts a scheme that quickly spirals out of control. Adela must decide whether to back down or double down, while protecting those she cares about from the backlash of Buddhist and Muslim extremists. Set against the backdrop of Burma's fractured transition to democracy, this coming-of-age story weaves critiques of voluntourism and humanitarian intervention into a young woman's quest for connection across cultural boundaries. This work of literary fiction will fascinate Southeast Asia buffs and anyone interested in places where the truth is bitterly contested territory.

Perfect travel device for travel in Italy!
Color: White/grey-Type L
We traveled all over Italy and these worked perfectly everywhere. All the ports were helpful and reduced the number of adapters we needed. We brought a 2-prong style as well, that had larger posts and was supposed to be equally universal but it was definitely not. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and recommend you skip the 2 prong style. The only other consideration is that when you unplug a lamp or something else to use the plug then you may want an additional way to plug the lamp back in and the additional US outlets on the side won’t help, since the lamp will the the same European 3 prong plug. That would definitely be a bulky adapter, but might be worth having one in the group.

Great for keeping family passports organized while traveling
I bought this for our family’s recent trip to Europe after struggling on a previous trip to keep track of everyone’s passports. Last year I was constantly worried about losing one or forgetting where I put them, so having everything in one place made a huge difference this time. This holder fit all four passports perfectly and still had room for cards and even a spot where I could clip my keys inside. It ended up being one of those things I used constantly throughout the trip at airports, hotels, train stations, and checkpoints. As long as I had the case with me, I felt confident all four passports were where they needed to be. The material feels durable enough for travel, and the zipper worked smoothly the whole trip. The black color also looks clean and professional without standing out too much. Pros: Holds four passports comfortably Helped keep travel documents organized Durable feel and smooth zipper Extra storage for cards, cash, or keys Lightweight enough for travel Gave me peace of mind during a busy international trip Cons: Slightly bulkier than necessary for minimalist travel Could be slimmer for people who only want passport storage without extra pockets
