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.
