Description - Questions of Heaven @ by Gretel Ehrlich

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

"IfQuestions of Heavenhas 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
