In 1930s Luang Prabang, the beautiful and demure Kham-Phiou was
much admired. On a New Year's Day, the life of the aristocratic
young woman changed when she caught the eye of a sophisticated
older man - Prince Souvanna Phouma. The prince fell madly in love
with Kham-Phiou and was determined to marry her against all odds.
His family wanted a marriage within the dynasty, while her widowed
mother feared Palace intrigues. After the wedding, life in the
prince's family home was difficult, but Kham-Phiou began to adapt
until the prince decided they should move to Vientiane for the sake
of his career. The tale of the tragic love story spans over half a
century and is set against the little-known backdrop of old-world
Laos where ancient customs and superstitions still held sway. In
this charming and moving personal account incorporating the social
history of Laos, Manisamouth, granddaughter of Kham-Phiou, brings
her grandmother's untold story to life, accompanied by evocative
black and white photographs, family trees of the Luang Prabang
Royals and Kham-Phiou's lineage, and includes a section on Lao
history.
