Bronte's "Jane Eyre," and a 'C' for Willa Cather's "My Antonia." It
continues with more perennial classics, perfect to give as elegant
gifts or to showcase on your own shelves.
X is for Xinran. In 1994, journalist and author Xinran met a
Chinese woman with an extraordinary story. For over thirty years,
since the 1950s, Shu Wen searched the mountains of north Tibet for
her husband, a Chinese military doctor, who was missing in action.
Her moving and unforgettable life story brilliantly recreated by
Xinran, gives insight into the landscape, religion and people of
Tibet. At the same time it illuminates the complex and emotional
relationship and history between the Tibetans and Chinese.
Traveling thousands of miles, and taken in by a Tibetan family, Shu
Wen lived a nomadic life through numerous seasons with silence and
simplicity, motivated by her search for her husband. An
unforgettable and ultimately uplifting tale of loss, loyalty,
courage and survival, above all, "Sky Burial" is an epic and
enduring love story.
