This review is from: Hermitage Among the Clouds: An Historical Novel of Fourteenth Century Vietnam (Thich Nhat Hanh) (Paperback)

This novel is enjoyable and easy to read- it is also beautifully written. It is well translated and true to the author's goal, revealing the (albeit mystical) calm joy that comes to the characters, mainly Princess Amazing Jewel, through living and experiencing life. Captures the beauty, customs and languid pace of life for 14th century Asian royalty. I am buying this book!
