520 A powerful, emotional memoir and an extraordinary portrait
of three generations of Tibetan women whose lives are
forever changed when Chairman Mao's Red Army crushes
Tibetan independence, sending a young mother and her six-
year-old daughter on a treacherous journey across the
snowy Himalayas toward freedom. Kunsang thought she would
never leave Tibet. One of the country's youngest Buddhist
nuns, she grew up in a remote mountain village where, as a
teenager, she entered the local nunnery. Though simple,
Kunsang's life gave her all she needed: a oneness with
nature and a sense of the spiritual in all things. She
married a monk, had two children, and lived in peace and
prayer. But not for long. There was a saying in Tibet:
"When the iron bird flies and horses run on wheels, the
Tibetan people will be scattered like ants across the face
of the earth." The Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1950
changed everything. When soldiers arrived at her mountain
monastery, destroying everything in their path, Kunsang
and her family fled across the Himalayas only to spend
years in Indian refugee camps. She lost both her husband
and her youngest child on that journey, but the future
held an extraordinary turn of events that would forever
change her life--the arrival in the refugee camps of a
cultured young Swiss man long fascinated with Tibet.
Martin Brauen will fall instantly in love with Kunsang's
young daughter, Sonam, eventually winning her heart and
hand, and taking mother and daughter with him to
Switzerland, where Yangzom will be born. Many stories lie
hidden until the right person arrives to tell them. In
rescuing the story of her now 90-year-old inspirational
grandmother and her mother, Yangzom Brauen has given us a
book full of love, courage, and triumph,as well as
allowing us a rare and vivid glimpse of life in rural
Tibet before the arrival of the Chinese. Most importantly,
though, ACROSS MANY MOUNTAINS is a testament to three
strong, determined women who are linked by an unbreakable
family bond.
