Series of quotes that have stayed with me the moment I finished reading them and others.

Join me on the overnight bus to Dharamshala, India, and begin a journey of discovery in the world of Tibetan refugees. I went to India to teach English, but I learned so much more.

Vancouver law student Ardavan Taherzadeh disappeared twenty-four years ago on a backpacking trip in India, from the Kullu Valley in the northern state of Himachal Pradesh. Lying on the banks of the glacial Beas River, the town of Kullu is towered by the snow-capped Himalayas and dotted with apple orchards. Yet evil lurks behind the picturesque setting. During his mother's search she learned that more than a dozen backpackers have vanished from this area in the past twenty years.

Dharamshala, India, home of the Tibetan community in exile. 2012 was a year in which documented abuses of human rights reached alarming heights within Tibet. At the same time, there were an unprecedented number of self-immolations as individual Tibetans made a fiery protest against the erosion of their language, religion, culture and freedom. I was there in Dharamshala, India, as the tragic year unfolded. But amazingly, amidst the sadness there was humour, compassion and a determination to continue the Tibetans' non-violent struggle for freedom. The Yeti in the Library is a testament to the bravery and character of a people in exile, set against the fascinating background of northern India. You can read the first three chapters here. To read more, buy the book very cheaply via Amazon Kindle, or visit my website www.gillwinterbooks.com The Yeti in the Library is the sequel to my first book, Between Monks and Monkeys.
