Mixes a compelling subject, magnificent prose and deep
understanding
*The Times*
Inspired and heartfelt ... shows that Tibet was never the
peace-loving paradise so many generations of well-wishers have
longed for it to be
*Los Angeles Times*
Tibet, Tibet, so good they named it twice ... French is a writer of
generous talents
*Sunday Times*
French has produced something very different from what he calls
"Tibetophile" literature, something greatly superior in its honesty
and lack of false sentiment
*Spectator*
A gripping mix of history, travel writing and personal memoir...
vividly told.
*Observer*
An accomplished writer and a keen observer (French) reports his
findings vividly... French's reporting is excellent and this is an
enjoyable and informative tour of Tibet.
*The Guardian*
First hand accounts of everyday experiences gleaned from close
contact with Tibetan priests, politicians and peasants illuminate
this moving book of modern day Tibet.
