The Homecoming

A renowned novelist once wrote that one `can never go home again`, but as the author demonstrates in this delightful and subtle account, such is not the case: we can and should cherish our past and, from time to time, we must reaffirm our roots. O`Hara`s homecoming to Burma, as he gives us glimpses into a youth that was punctuated by hardship and loss, reveals a character determined to succeed, even at the expense of abandoning his country of birth. In parallel, it points to some of the causes of that nation`s failure to realise its great potential. Randolph O`Hara, MBE, is a retired civil servant residing in Hong Kong. During his career, he played a pivotal role in the development of local cultural facilities in the former British colonial administration.
