A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Lucy Cruickshanks' love of travel inspires her writing. A great fan of the underdog, she's drawn to countries with troubled recent histories, writing about periods of time when societies are at their most precarious and fraught with risk. She's fascinated by their uniqueness and moral ambiguity, and in capturing the people who must navigate them.
Her debut novel, The Trader of Saigon, began life after she sat beside a man on a flight who made his fortune selling women. It was shortlisted for the Authors' Club Best First Novel Award and the Guardian Not The Booker Prize, longlisted for the Waverton Goodread Award and named a Top Ten Book of 2013 by The Bookbag.
Lucy was born in 1984 and raised in Cornwall, UK. She holds a BA in Politics and Philosophy from the University of Warwick and an MA in Creative Writing from Bath Spa University. She lives on the south coast of England and divides her time between writing and caring for her young family.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

'Pleasingly ingenious . . . Full of raw energy'
Guardian praise for Lucy Cruickshanks

From the heart of Burma's exotic Rubyland comes an emotional thriller, as three lives are thrown together by the desperate choices they make to survive in a country gripped by civil war.

The British ambassador's son is in imminent danger, trapped between sides fighting a bitter conflict. His best hope of salvation is to trust a local ruby smuggler who offers to help him escape. For her, the ambassador's son is a ticket out of poverty. For Than, an ambitious military officer, exploiting those caught up in the war offers opportunity for promotion and distinction.

But as all three learn to their cost, in this enigmatic and savage country, everyone has a price.

The Road to Rangoon is a tale of ambition, salvation and hope that confirms Lucy Cruickshanks as a master storyteller.
