Linda Lewin, using the recollections of her 94 year old father, Boh Lay Desmond and other family members and friends, has written the story of her family covering a number of generations. In this episode we hear a little about her great grandparents U Tun Hla and Daw Bu Ma and learn how her grandparents, Sa Po Lwin and Lucienne Auberhoffer met and married in London and moved to Bassein (now Pathein) in the Myanmar delta where her grandfather practiced law. We also learn of the eventual flight of Lucienne and her three children, including Linda's father Boh Lay, from the Japanese army in early 1942.
The book was published by Gold Hare in 2023 and may be purchased via its website, www.goldenharebooks.com.
