Sky Burial: An Epic Love Story of Tibet
Sky Burial: An Epic Love Story of Tibet
Determined to find out what happened to her husband, Shu Wen joins his regiment, is taken hostage, and embarks on a life-changing journey through the Tibetan countryside--a journey that will last 20 years and lead her to a deep appreciation of Tibet in all its beauty and brutality.
It was 1994 when Xinran, a journalist and the internationally acclaimed author of The Good Women of China, received a telephone call asking her to travel four hours to meet a woman who had just crossed the border from Tibet into China. Xinran made the trip and met the woman, called Shu Wen, who recounted the story of her thirty-year odyssey in the vast landscape of Tibet. In Sky Burial, Xinran has re-created Shu Wen's journey, painting an extraordinary portrait of a woman and a land, each at the mercy of fate and politics. It is an unforgettable, ultimately uplifting tale of love, loss, loyalty, and survival.
