Don't Go, Ramanya by Rush Leaming

Release Date: August 2016
Genre: Literary Fiction

I give this book five stars. This is one of my favorite books of the year... of all time, really. It is an intriguing journey to a new place and a new culture, which are two things I love reading and learning about. This book satisfied the sociologist in me. Rush's writing is in a class all by itself. I would recommend this book to everyone. The characters are so real... I can still see/hear them. Absolutely cannot wait until the next book from Rush. It was an honor to be a little part of this book being brought forth.

The debut novel from Rush Leaming.

From Midwest Book Review, D. Donovan: "Don't Go, Ramanya is thriller reading at its best, cementing a turbulent political atmosphere with an overlay of diverse and realistic human concerns and endeavors that border on the extraordinary. Genre fans who seek atmosphere and description in their reads will find that Leaming doesn't sacrifice either psychological depth or evocative setting for the sake of fast-paced action, winding all into an emotionally and socially charged saga that's hard to put down."

From The BookLife Prize in Fiction: "Leaming's fast-paced novel hits many strong notes as it follows British priest Father Bob, American ex-pat Michael Shaw, and Burmese rebel Ramanya from Bangkok to the border to smuggle Ramanya back into the country. The sense of place created by the author is excellent throughout... "

Three men running from secrets and tragedies in their past. Four tense days in and around Bangkok. A taut literary thriller that you won't soon forget.
