What a truly remarkable work of literature.
Mystical, poignant, unusual.
One man’s quest— or is it two? Powerful descriptions of the Mongolian landscape, culture, religion and history — ancient and modern.

Did I understand exactly what was happening, or even who all the characters were? No, not even close. Usually that would annoy me. I was often confused, like “ when did that happen.?”Yet I was simply pulled along by the tide of this novel that reads at times like a biography or coming of age. and I suspect we were not meant to understand everything .

As a practicing Buddhist I loved the interweaving of Buddhist thought as the main character struggles with it. The pithy and occasionally funny chapter titles (e.g. “ We are All on Facebook”.) Splendid narration.

Yeah. This novel has moved me and affected my own spiritual practice. I found it grounding.

One of few books I would listen to again — or read.
