English Girl's First Impressions of Burmah
by Beth Ellis
'English Girl's First Impressions of Burmah' Summary
Beth Ellis, a young Englishwoman, embarks on a solo journey to Burma in the late 19th century to visit her brother. Her journal entries document her voyage across the ocean to Rangoon, the bustling capital city, and her subsequent journey to the remote, jungle-clad town of Remyo, where she finds herself immersed in a small European community. Ellis's lively and humorous writing captures her initial anxieties as she navigates this foreign land, and she shares her observations of the local culture and customs, including the interactions between the British colonizers and the Burmese people. The reader experiences the challenges and joys of life in a remote colonial outpost through Ellis's keen eye and lighthearted tone, providing a fascinating glimpse into the personal experiences of those living in Burma during a pivotal period in its history.Book Details
