Very interesting insight into two cultures I don't know that much about, in the narrator and the subject. This is a very casual slice-of-life sort of narrative, and the tone was sometimes a bit jarring, but overall that allowed me to feel familiar with an entire life. I ended up checking out the audio which, while not my favorite audio, was a better fit for how I wanted to explore this story.
Newly translated and now many more people can revel in the journey. I can see why this book has such a reputation and am glad it’s now available for more of us.
Li Juan spends a very rugged winter amongst the land and surrounded by nature that she brings to life as a painter with a brush might.
Deciding to do something bold and different Li joins with a traditional herding family as they move their horses, camels, sheep and cattle to winter pasture which is many days frozen trek from home. There Li works the land and overwinters in a setting unlike anything she’s encounters before and shares the experiences with the animals and the family with us lucky readers.
Definitely a perfect read for a cozy winter day.… (más)

It's a beautifully written and fascinating account of a way of life that is disappearing.
