Burma had firm rules about what an unmarried Englishwoman could sensibly do, and Mitton worked around most of them. She travels the country on its own transport, up the Irrawaddy and into the hills, describing the pagodas, the markets and the manners of colonial society with a dryness that spares nobody, herself included.
