Customer Reviews
A lovely, read.
I bought this book yesterday and finished it today. I was gripped from start to finish.
I thought that I knew a bit about Tibet, now that I have finished the book, I know a lot more and have a yearning to read books of this calibre that are about Tibet and her people.
It would be nice if Claire had a blog to keep us up to date with the characters from the book because I feel that I know them all as friends now.
On a side note, I kept listening to Tai Chi Too by Oliver Shanti and Friends whilst reading this book and it proved to be the ideal soundtrack.
A gentle book that reaches out
Not the most gripping - not a page turner perhaps - but a delightful story of the friendship of two women from two totally different backgrounds. Discover yourself by seeing how Claire Scobie discovers herself and read about a disappearing Tibet as "Chinasation" overtakes this country.
Kindness and a deep listening...
A little slow at first until I realised that the fact that I found it slow said more about my life in London than about Claire's remarkable book. A great choice for all Tibet fans - this book shows clearly the extent of the religious persecution in Tibet right now. A gentle and spiritual book that speaks of kindness and listening without preaching. Read and savour every page... enjoy the moment... there is the magic of this narrative. Enjoy it before this book, and the life in Tibet which it describes, ends. An amazing achievent by Claire Scobie.
