Rice Without Rain - Thryft

Courageous Thai girl's struggle amidst political upheaval.

If you're into narratives that dive deep into the heart of cultural and political issues, "Rice Without Rain" is a compelling read. You'll be transported to rural Thailand and live through the farmers' struggles, their hope, and the raw reality of a young girl's bravery. The book not only offers a personal journey but also paints a broader picture of a tumultuous time that might leave you with a profound sense of empathy and understanding for a world far from your own.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Out of a silent harvest, a scorched Maekung valley, comes the stirring story of Jinda, a courageous young Thai girl. Her village, like others in rural Thailand, suffers from the exorbitant land rent, leaving the farmers poverty-stricken and landless. Then, students from Bangkok come to live in their midst, sowing seeds of change, leading up eventually to a student rally in Bangkok that explodes into a horrifying massacre. The refreshing simplicity of Rice Without Rain, and its compassionate and deeply sensitive study of human endeavour, add to the potency of this unforgettable novel.
