Tibetan Women on the Edge of History

Summary

Twenty years after her first encounter with Tibet, Canyon Sam re-visits the place she loves. Even as she disembarks Chinas infamous Sky Train, the author confronts a series of changes all seemingly irrevocable the devastation of Lhasas once-pristine landscape; the corrosion of cultural artefacts; the slow death of a vibrant civilization.

In an attempt to acknowledge the past, the Chinese- American writer documents her spiritual home by recording the voices of four Tibetan women a visionary educator, a freedom fighter, a gulag survivor, a child bride.

Gracefully connecting these womens poignant histories to larger cultural, political and spiritual themes, Canyon Sam finds wisdom and wholeness, as she comes to grips with the future. In a style that is uncompromisingly honest, yet tender and lyrical, Sky Train is a love-song to The Place of the Gods.
