This book was fast paced and very well written. Numerous characters yet all individual and very real. Really enjoyed learning about Tibet and some of its fables and history. A good story, you won't want to put the book down!! I'm so glad there is a sequel "Last Refuge" so I can continue reading more about this facinating culture!

I was fascinated by the novel "Lost Horizon" and delighted by the film. Ms. Scarborough updates the story. She adds the frizzon of a world wide holocaust making this mythical kingdom man's last chance.

As always, Ms. Scarborough pulls the spiritual and mystical seamlessly into her story. Rather than a paradise in which everyone sits around and prays, "Nothing Sacred" had the inhabitants working hard to undo the damage done by the Chinese occupation of Tibet and the war. It is in the process of these repairs that the characters learn of the mysterious aspects of this valley and of their own true characters.

Rather than just one main character, "Nothing Sacred" has the leisure to focus on a group, exploring each in terms of their values and history. Eminently readable.Nothing Sacred

At first, I was cautious, because this book was not something I would normally read. However, the book quickly drew me in, and it has become one of my favorites. Very re-readable.
