The Road to Mandalay: A Tale of Burma

In a sleepy English village, two resilient sisters—Jane, the organist and community organizer, and her sharp‑witted sister Mitty—navigate the delicate balance between modest means and the expectations of their genteel past. When the curtains are inexplicably drawn at their family home, “Littlecote,” a sense of unease spreads through their close‑knit circle, prompting whispered speculation and a reluctant curiosity that hints at deeper secrets lurking behind the familiar walls.

Their quiet world soon collides with the promise of far‑off horizons, as the sisters contemplate a journey that will take them far beyond the English countryside to the exotic, bustling streets of Burma. Along the way, they encounter a cast of vivid characters—hostesses, merchants, and mysterious strangers—each adding color to a tale that blends domestic intrigue with the allure of distant lands. Listeners are invited to follow their courageous step from the familiar into the unknown, discovering how loyalty, wit, and a dash of daring shape their path toward unexpected adventure.
