The real Tibet. The love of boy & girl, the majesty of Mt Everest and towering peaks, a lost treasure now guarded by lepers, life's challenges after China's entry into Tibet, the alienation of being a Tibetan refugee, and a possible way the Dalai Lama can now return to his homeland. A fast-moving novel with exquisite detail (and photographs) about the culture, nature, and politics of Tibet's recent past.
