Critics Review
‘The Han Chinese presence in Tibet hovers in the background like a Himalayan mist … captures something true and fresh about modern China * Independent *
A fast-paced read, bold and brassy, at times super-sensitive and insightful, with cheeky asides and a raw honesty that will make readers laugh out loud. * South China Morning Post *
Manages to turn often comic human relationships into an unsettling metaphor for China’s political and cultural domination of Tibet. * Asia Times *
