What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Our Home in Myanmar is a delightful read, both an accessible introduction to Myanmar and a candid behind-the-scenes look at journalism in a developing country.” JOHN GRANT ROSS, BOOKISH ASIA.
“Jessica Mudditt deftly brings home the absurdity, humour, danger and enchantment of life in Myanmar in a time of change.” JEREMY FERNANDEZ, ABC SYDNEY NEWS ANCHOR.
“Reading Jessica’s book is like sitting down with a friend over a few glasses of wine… For a beautifully paced, enlightening and empathetic account of what it took to get by in this beguiling, but sadly blighted land, with love and some laughs along the way, I truly recommend you spend time with Jessica.” JAMES PETERS, BETTER READ THAN DEAD.
