Questions of Heaven: The Chinese Journeys of an American Buddhist

A Haunting pilgrimage to one of China's holy mountains "Ehrlich . . . writes with tremendous grace and passion."--Miles Harvey, Outside "In spare, lyrical prose, Ehrlich inventively recounts her 1995 spiritual trip to China and Tibet. . . . Like one of the landscape paintings of which she writes, Ehrlich's book is at once delicate, deeply considered and moving." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "Ehrlich's highly personal travelogue centers on her attempt to find what remains of [the] once-flourishing spiritual culture in the sacred mountains of western China. . . . [Ehrlich] intersperses her personal narrative with bits of the intellectual, political, historical and spiritual." --Alexandra Hall, The New York Times Book Review "If Questions of Heaven has a message, it may reside in the author's belief in a bond across geography and generations, one transcending space and time." --David L. Ulin, The Village Voice "This is travel writing at its best." --Glenn Masuchika, Library Journal
