A Buddhist monk takes up arms to resist the Chinese invasion of
Tibet - then spends the rest of his life trying to atone for the
violence by hand printing the best prayer flags in India. A Jain
nun tests her powers of detachment as she watches her best friend
ritually starve herself to death. Nine people, nine lives; each one
taking a different religious path, each one an unforgettable story.
William Dalrymple delves deep into the heart of a nation torn
between the relentless onslaught of modernity and the ancient
traditions that endure to this day. LONGLISTED FOR THE BBC SAMUEL
JOHNSON PRIZE
