A marvel 46

And that is a marvel more on the shelf of my favorite books.
This book is fascinating and beautifully written and translated.
Xinra, Chinese journalist tells the exciting story of this woman she met one weekend. It is the story of Wen she tells us. She crossed the street, and he's a Tibetan. Then they begin to discuss and to his astonishment, Wen speaks Chinese ... Xinran will then tell the history. We learn immediately that Wen is Chinese and that when her young husband Kejun is first sent and then disappears in Tibet during the Sino-Tibetan war, she went to turn in Tibet in the footsteps of her husband. So we know the beginning and the end of his story, and we savor this epic that takes us to the heart of Tibet and its culture.
