Description
Colin Thubron's late masterpiece—following his journey to Mount Kailas, the holiest mountain in the Hindu and Buddhist worlds, after the deaths of the last members of his family—is simultaneously one of the finest works of travel writing produced in the twenty-first century and one of the most moving and most honest accounts of grief and its relationship to landscape and spiritual search. Written with the lyrical precision and the moral depth that have made him the essential travel writer of his generation, this is Thubron at his most personal and his most profound. An essential and beautiful work.
