5.0 out of 5 stars
Tibetan life in the 20th century revealed,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Born in Lhasa (Paperback)
Tibetan life in the 20th century is revealed by a woman who recreates life in Tibet before the Chinese invasion, revealing personal and public activities and lives and recounting the author's journey around the world. Taklha lived in the old Tibet, saw it change under the hands of the Chinese, and experienced its restoration in her life. Born In Lhasa, her compelling autobiography is moving.
5.0 out of 5 stars
An intimate view on a lost culture...,
By Chime Nangchen (Hackettstown, NJ, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Born in Lhasa (Paperback)
I am priviledged to know Namgyal Lhamo-la and recommend this personal narrative of her life and society to all those who love Tibet. The culture into which Namlha-la is one of grace and beauty and readers will be whisked away to her world as page after page leads them into the lanes and byways of a lost Tibet. We also grieve with her as her family seeks to reinvent themselves after the Chinese takeover of Tibet forces them to take refuge in one country after another. An essential for students of Asian cultures and friends of Tibet everywhere!
