RATING:
B+
A
hearty Tibetan tale covering the early years in Tibet, escape to
India, and subsequent life in USA of a once~nun now~mother from Amdo.
I can relate well to one theme, best mentioned on page 217, of not
sharing the cultural interests of those dwelling around me. That same
feeling of not sharing the values and lifestyle of those around me
once led me to migrate to the other side of the planet to try to seek
those who were similar to me. I still find that I relate better to
Himalayan cultures than to my own.
I
would recommend this book to those wishing to hear a Tibetan's story
and to those wishing to contrast the various lifestyles ~ Tibetan,
Indian, and American.
