Mixes a compelling subject, magnificent prose and deep understanding
The Times
Inspired and heartfelt ... shows that Tibet was never the peace-loving paradise so many generations of well-wishers have longed for it to be
Los Angeles Times
Tibet, Tibet, so good they named it twice ... French is a writer of generous talents
Sunday Times
French has produced something very different from what he calls "Tibetophile" literature, something greatly superior in its honesty and lack of false sentiment
Spectator
A gripping mix of history, travel writing and personal memoir... vividly told.
Observer
An accomplished writer and a keen observer (French) reports his findings vividly... French's reporting is excellent and this is an enjoyable and informative tour of Tibet.
The Guardian
First hand accounts of everyday experiences gleaned from close contact with Tibetan priests, politicians and peasants illuminate this moving book of modern day Tibet.
