Hello all,
Sky Burial is Xinran's first novel, although it is based very much on a real story she heard years ago from a woman in a cafe.
http://www.bookcrossing.com/---/5875149A novel that takes place in Tibet - a women's husband is sent to Tibet as a military doctor, and disappears. She spends thirty years traveling the Tibetan plateau in search of clues for what happened to him - and learns a whole new language and way of living in the process.

Post location and shipping preference.
Thisis such a beautifully poignant story! I couldn't put it down. I recommend it to everyone.
I would but I already have in on Mt TBR! :giggle:
Me, please!! Pretty please? May I join? I only just heard of Xinran while playing the Best of 2007 swap, but I would be most interested in reading this one! The only thing is that I'm horribly swamped right at this moment, so I'd have to be placed further down the list, if at all possible. The bright news is that, although I'm in Canada, I'm willing to ship anywhere :grin:
I would love to read this too! I can ship anywhere! I'm in Portugal. :) Thank you!
This will be my first time signing up for a bookring/ray in almost a year!
