No relationship is ever perfect. There are always ups and downs. The love becomes stronger every day because of dedication, on both good and bad days. This is the case of Dewi and her father in this book. 

Aung Sien, a single father, and his daughter Dewi's struggles are detailed in Cafde Burma by Larry Webber. Dewi was a young teen who had long since lost her mother. Her father was a stuffy man who was still stuck in the 20th century. He worked for the government of his country as a spy. On occasion, he would listen to the conversations of patrons at the cafe and study any details he believed were important or helpful. He didn't want to leave his properties to his younger brother Thu; therefore, he wished desperately for a son who would take over as the heir. They had a tradition that only men could inherit property. His desire for a boy was so intense that he was prepared to spend all of his savings on transsexual surgery for his daughter. He didn't even think about her opinion. Not until Dewi and her uncle Thu devised a strategy to persuade Aung to change his mind. Did they achieve their plan? Get a copy to find out. 

I was totally absorbed as I read about Aung and his daughter. I could see that a man may go above and beyond when he has great drive. I also liked Khin because she was a strong, educated lady who took morality and decency seriously. Despite their differences, she was a suitable match for Aung. I couldn't take my eyes off the book as I followed Aung's love for Khin. And this could be a good opportunity to persuade him to reconsider Dewi's surgery, allowing her to live a normal life as a young girl. The author went into great detail regarding family values and respect for one another. He emphasized the significance of upholding cultural values despite the rise of moral degeneration. Dewi was willing to sacrifice everything for her dad out of love, even though the transition operation would have been a significant turning point in her life. To please him, she would have done anything.
 
Dewi was my favorite character in this novel. She didn't need to act rebellious to show her dad that she didn't want to turn into a boy. She was an intellectual and smart girl. I adored how she assisted her father in allowing another lady into his heart to fill the void created by her mother's passing. Despite their differences, she was always willing to help Khin whenever she needed it, and she knew how to behave responsibly. She became more appealing to me because of what she stood for. She wasn't prepared to exchange her dignity for anything at all. 
 
I have no complaints about this book. There were no errors found, indicating a superb editing job. I could identify with some of the characters' emotions while reading the book because each one was well-developed. I have to commend the author for his originality. I also want to acknowledge the editor for a job well done. Due to its wealth of knowledge, I rate this book five out of five stars. I recommend this book to people of all ages, especially young girls who may have made the wrong friends when they were away from home.

I strongly agree with you No relationship is ever perfect. You are the one that will build your relationship to your taste or to the level you want it to be .

[Flourish Sunday]

Wow, I love this book. Indeed no relationship is perfect. The introduction in this review has captured my mind towards the book. I will love to read the book. Good job.

[Emeka Emordi]

The world is truly matriarchal. This is shown in how Aung tried to change the sexuality of his daughter. I hope the plan of Thu and her uncle to change the mind of Aung worked out.

[Temi Book]

Wow! This is interesting. I wonder how some people reason like seriously. Changing one’s gender, to me, doesn’t mean anything because they are still biologically the same.

[Prince Oyedeji Oyeleke Jayeola]

The book sure falls into the categories of books I enjoy reading. It has a beautiful cover page and an interesting plot suspenseful filled. Ilook forward to reading it.

[Oyedeji Funmilayo]

I wouldn't blame Aung for being desperate in wanting a male child. Although I am not a fan of the book genre I enjoyed reading your review. Well done!!

The plot of this book is interesting, it's different from all other books that I have read. I do not agree with the tradition that only men can inherent properties. And he went too far in the quest for a son by thinking of doing transsexual surgery for his daughter. Your review is amazing.

Yes I agree with the review. Her father went to far trying to change her gender in quest of having an heir. This is intriguing and interesting. Good job.
