Customer Reviews of Sky Burial : An Epic Love Story of Tibet
An epic trai of love This epic story of love and endurance captured my heart, taking me into an alien world and culture of polyandry. Taking the reader through Chinese patriotism and domination in Tibet to the way of life of Tibetan monks and nomads, we learn of the odyssey of a woman who went through life sticking to her faith in her lost love, participating in history and testing her commitment against the trials of adversity.
SKY BURIAL puts adversity and commitment at the highest test. Other titles that test commitment are WAR AND PEACE, UNION MOUJIK, and DISCIPLES OF FORTUNE. They give us a unique perspective of amazing characters that defy adversity.
An amazing tale of friendship, vast lands and sorrow
Now here is an epic story of love, friendship, courage and sacrifice. Set in Chinese-occupied Tibet and based on a true story, Xinran's extraordinary second book takes the reader right to the hidden heart of one of the world's most mysterious and inaccessible countries. In March 1958, Shu Wen, a young woman and doctor learns that her beloved husband, an idealistic army doctor, has died while serving in Tibet not even a hundred days after their marriage. Unwilling to accept this as fact, she sets out to find out what happened to him by joining his regiment in Tibet. For over twenty years she walked, searching for her husband on a life-changing journey through the Tibetan countryside that leads her to a deep appreciation of Tibet in all its beauty and brutality. Sadly, when she finally discovers the truth about her husband, she must carry her knowledge back to a China that, in her absence, has experienced the Cultural Revolution and changed beyond her ken. Xinran has done an amazing job in depicting the vast Tibetan landscape to us. Surely you too will cry as I did when nearing the end of this amazing must read!
