A Woman of Angkor

A Woman of Angkor

By John Burgess

A Woman of Angkor is a historical novel set in 12th Century Cambodia when the powerful Angkor Empire ruled much of Indochina. Telling the story of Sray and her family during the building of the magical temple of Angkor Wat, the period is bought to life. John le Carré says John Burgess stirs the imagination and excites our historical interest.
