Sky Burial: An Epic Love Story Of Tibet by Xinran

5.0

SKY BURIAL by Xinran is truly an epic love story. Translated from Chinese, it tells a fictionalized account of a true story about a Chinese woman, Shu Wen, who journeys to Tibet to find her missing husband, and ends up living there for decades. Her search for her husband evolved into a new love affair with a different culture and strange land. It was truly fascinating to see how this woman slowly adapted herself to a new way of life. It seemed, after a while, that she wasn't searching for her husband anymore, as much as she was searching for something greater that she herself couldn't quite pinpoint. I loved this story, but I felt like the ending was a bit to unsatisfying. It didn't really end in a way that left me wanting more (which is a good thing) as much is it just ended abruptly, with no closure. I was socked when I turned the page expected more and realized it ended.
