Eileen’s Reviews > Across Many Mountains: A Tibetan Family's Epic Journey from Oppression to Freedom > Status Update

What a treat this book is; it's fascinating to learn about the Buddhist culture and lifestyle, and how they are forced to change and adapt because they fled to India, then Switzerland. If I didn't have a job and children I wouldn't have put this book down until I finished. This book is a gift, in more ways than one!

"The author immediately endears and invests you in the main characters which keeps you from putting down the book, much like a mystery or thriller. It is not a book easily forgotten once put down; you don't simply return to your normal life, the ideals of the Buddhists inspire thought and (hopefully) change."

The author immediately endears and invests you in the main characters which keeps you from putting down the book, much like a mystery or thriller. Admiring the examples in the book, I'm inspired to be a better human; it's not an easily forgotten memoir.
