In Dharamsala, the Dalai Lama’s place of exile, Myra de Rooy meets eight Tibetan ex-political prisoners. These Tibetans tell their poignant life stories. They did not resign themselves to the Chinese occupation. The protagonists show courage and perseverance. Their testimonies shed light on recent Tibetan history, in the shadow of Chinese rule.
The author visits their native Tibet and speaks with their families. Myra’s travels to Lhasa past villages, nomadic tents and monasteries bring the stories of these refugees to life.
Geologist, mountaineer and writer Myra de Rooy (b. 1957) worked for ICT for over fifteen years. Fascinated by the mountain world and its inhabitants, she made many solo trips to remote areas in Tibet, Ladakh, Nepal and Scandinavia.
Windhorse House was previously published in Dutch. ICT Europe made this English translation possible so that the stories of these ex-political prisoners will be known worldwide.
