There are various good and bad characters, some more nuanced than others. In my book, the military is very much a part of the story. I wanted to highlight what they do and the challenges and dilemmas they face.Ī third group would be government players. In particular, I wanted to cover female lawyers because in Burma there is a long tradition of female doctors and lawyers. I also wanted to describe local lawyers working within that context. Or where there are local laws, they may be weakly enforced. In the United States these are typically covered by legislation, but they aren’t covered in places like Burma. They want these things included in the deal to protect themselves. These interests involve issues that are not heavily regulated in the country, like labor rights or environmental protection. Usually those foreign investors, particularly those conducting business in faraway places where legal systems are not very well developed, have particular interests. Attorneys end up negotiating a deal with the other side - normally it’s the government, but it could be a local party. Companies that are foreign investors come to a lawyer of a firm in a country like Burma, and first they want to negotiate a deal. One thing is to describe what international transactional lawyers do in faraway places. I would describe the novel as a mystery thriller, but what I’ve tried to do is cover a few things that I think are of importance and interest to lawyers and the general public. How would you describe your novel? It has the mystery, action, and romance of a spy novel, but there are also many social observations. As personal and political histories unravel, the reader is taken on a whirlwind tour of international business, local conflict, and the intersection of the two. Finch’s tale employs a shifting perspective, following foreign attorneys Molly Durberville and George Wilford as they investigate a plane crash and its connection to local struggles between the Burmese military and the Kachin Independence Army. James Finch’s novel, Silence in the Land of Gold, introduces readers to a Burma whose history of ethnic and political conflict renders it a minefield for outsiders.
